Following a 10-year prison stint, Driver (Dwayne Johnson) sprints through the gates to take vengeance on those responsible for his brother's murder. Within hours of dispatching his first one, he has two men on his tail: a veteran police officer (Billy Bob Thornton) and an eager assassin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). Driver tries to stay a step ahead of his pursuers, but there are hints that his list is incomplete, and the unknown person may endanger his life.

Critics Consensus

It's good to see Dwayne Johnson back in full-throttle action mode, but Faster doesn't deliver enough of the high-octane thrills promised by its title.

A white trash cousin to Jason Statham's geezer fu movies, this is no-nonsense, high- octane and as speedy as the title dares to suggest.

Revenge films bank on the audience's desire for the bad guys to get what they deserve, but the lack of any emotion in Faster invalidates that.

The film never outshines its influences, but as back-to-basics action filmmaking, it's often superb.

2/4

Faster needed either fewer brains or more, and Tillman’s directorial flourishes (saturated colors and offbeat angles) don’t make up for what’s lacking.

4/10

There's virtually no comedy relief, the violence is brutal and grim, and the characters aren't even given names.

2.5/4.0

It would be almost impossible to completely diss a film that seems to accomplish what it sets out to do, even if what it sets out to do isn't particularly artistic.

Dwayne Johnson is a force to be reckoned with in Faster! The must see road revenge driven thriller with some crazy acting and fast cars! It's a seriously entertaining straight forward good guy vs bad guys adventure!

That is a pure cinématic film, not too connected to reality but with realistic bents and ironic bits. It's a bit crazy in its psychopathy and funny at the same time. Of course most of the story here would not hold in real life but this film is for the joy ride, the enigma, the pain, and the escape from reality. That worked for me.

Very underrated movie.

It's the Rock's performance that makes this movie watchable. Otherwise it's a standard revenge driven action move that doesn't add anything to the genre. Also, I usually have issue when movie characters are underdeveloped, but in this case the assassin and his girlfriend were way too overdeveloped and I just didn't need to know that much about his character - not only did it not add anything to the story, it actually detracted from it.
