Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Matthew D Booth Like "The Terminator" except he uses a list instead of the phone book. Root for the bad guy !!
The Movie Diorama It can't quite reach fourth gear let alone fifth, for everything Faster does correctly it also lacks in something else. One thing is for sure, it's good to see Johnson at the helm of a gritty action thriller before he became Hollywood's most bankable star. Having recently been released from prison, a driver seeks revenge on the group of men that put him there and fractionally killed him. A simple premise of vengeance as the anonymous individual simply known as "Driver" drives down the dark road of hatred. I adored the serious nature of the story, the visceral gritty corruption that is evoked from the driver exhumes a sympathetic undertone. Adequately balanced as you question the actions he takes, determining whether what he is doing is right or wrong. It's not an original narrative, yet the reminiscence of western gunslinger classics seeps through the modern cracks to create a refreshing take on a vengeful character. Johnson's physical demeanour is intimidating, fortunately it makes up for his monotonous acting. Cugino and Thornton were wasted potential as they attempt to convey some emotional complexity. Grace was pointless. Jackson-Cohen played the typical British antagonist with the most forced London accent ever. Whilst I do appreciate the religious themes, like its topic, it came across as preachy and felt unnecessary, even if it was a plot device to taint the driver's determined mind. It's not so much an action film, more of a thrilling drama. A few car chases, some shootouts but mostly intense stares and a whole lot of muscle (his arms are like tree trunks...). The concluding twist, whilst predictable, was slightly underwhelming and really didn't leave much of an impact. It's paced slightly on the slower side however it works for me. Faster may not be as quick as viewers would expect, however it is a watchable thriller with a distinctly gritty style.
adonis98-743-186503 An ex-con gets on a series of apparently unrelated killings. He gets tracked by a veteran cop with secrets of his own and an egocentric hit man. Thanks to a talented cast, great action set pieces and well written and interesting characters this throwback to the 80's and 90's action films that we loved has The Rock at his finest for sure. (10/10)
SnoopyStyle Driver (Dwayne Johnson) is a feared man released from prison. His tattoo denotes a mythical ghost-like quality. He was a bank robber but his crew gets jumped by another group. They shot him in the head but he came back from the dead. Now he's out for revenge. Cop (Billy Bob Thornton) is a former addict and a divorced dad on the verge of retirement. He gets the case with detective Cicero (Carla Gugino). Killer (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) has beaten yoga. He is a self-made man with girlfriend Lily (Maggie Grace) and looking to conquer life. He is an assassin for the challenge and he get hired in a mysterious phone call to kill Driver.This is a hard-boiled stripped-down revenge story. It does need something more to put it over the top. I really appreciate the idea of stripping these characters to their base essentials. Killer does need somebody with more gravitas. He is too much of the Silicon Valley hipster. He needs to be cooler than that. The best way to push the stylistic vision is to bring on more violence. It needs to be harder and more brutal. Overall, the Rock is awesome and there are plenty of solid actors here. However, this needs to be a little faster.
