Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Aug 3, 2023 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.

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

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.

A badass homage to '70s revenge and action films.

Faster is a lean, mean, revenge machine. I really dug it.

There is a place in cinema for self-aware genre flicks such as this and it's good to know filmmakers are willing to still make them. And, if nothing else, it's good to have The Rock back where he belongs.

The result is a mishmash of bloody action and talky exposition...

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.

Faster blends the car porn of the 60s with the vigilante justice movies of the 70s. If you like that sort of thing, Faster is the sort of thing you'll like.

Looking good is just about all Faster does.

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.

...both highly watchable and an easy recommendation for action fans.

Faster is a grim, lean piece of work that feels like it crawled out of a 1978 double feature. And that's a good thing.

Burdened by poorly-handled religious themes and an unnecessary supporting character, Faster isn't much fun but it does have Dwayne Johnson...

"Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?" In the case of Faster, we certainly can, Rocky, and it smells awful.

Several exciting sequences surrounded by often banal exposition, Johnson's return to the action genre after over half a decade slumming in generic Disney kiddies fare blasts out of the gate initially only to lose momentum...

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

It receives a passing grade. And it's not the worst movie I've seen this season.

Faster is a Dwayne Johnson movie; kill first and talk later. It's nothing more, nothing less and that's what I expected.
