good back-story, and good acting

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Like "The Terminator" except he uses a list instead of the phone book. Root for the bad guy !!

Even though this movie boasts good direction and a pretty good performance by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, I found myself increasingly annoyed by the narrative, mainly because at no point in the proceedings was the main character in any kind of jeopardy. Johnson's hero, "Driver," has a singular goal which he carries out, step-by-step, without ever encountering any real obstacles. Not one of the antagonists he faces in the movie is a match for him. He's never in any hot water. Consequently, there is very little tension in the story and no doubt at all about the outcome.So, pro tip to screenwriters: If you want to generate suspense, have your hero be over-matched occasionally. Or at least once.That wasn't the case here. And the movie suffers for it.

Revenge thrillers are my favorite type of action film. They are intense, fast pace, and have you rooting for the bad guy, who may not be so bad after all. My favorite revenge thriller is Payback with Mel Gibson, but Faster may be a close second. The Rock stars in a role that is absolutely perfect for him. The unnamed man was set-up for a crime his brother committed, a crime, that saw his partners turn on him and kill him. Now after nearly a decade in jail, The Rock is out and seeking revenge. With his size, intimidation, and weird eye brows, The Rock finds out who his brother was working with and goes on the hunt. Realizing this, the man who set everything up, hires a hit-man to stop him, and the chase is on. I do believe that wrestlers can be great action stars, but The Rock never really did anything for me until now. This cold, calculating man, out for revenge is by far better than any character he's ever played. If The Rock was alone in this film, it wouldn't have been as great as it was. He is paired with Billy Bob Thornton, playing a washed up, alcoholic cop, who is days away from retirement. He really doesn't need or want this case, but winds up stuck in the middle with some pretty funny moments. Thornton is one of those guys who is good in anything and always brings his unique and dry brand of humor to every role. The pairing of the two, in an intense, fast paced, story make this film an absolutely must see movie that shouldn't be missed.

This is not an action movie. This is a crime-drama-thriller. In the trailer for it, it looks like an action movie, but it is not.Probably the reason why I didn't like it. I like The Rock, but he is not really he type of actor you put in a thriller-drama. He is more suited for action or action-comedy. It's not that he can't act, he's not bad, but still.. He fits better in a more action-oriented environment!This movie is not all that entertaining, really. It is kind of boring at times, you just want some more action. You want The Rock to be the super bad-ass that can throw guys around and beat everyone up, here he is supposed to be more of a normal guy. Not exactly normal, but he is not supposed to be much of a bad-ass. And lets face it, he looks like a wrestler/bodybuilder, he looks nothing like an average man.Faster is just a little boring. I can't think of much more to say.
