Synopsis
After ten years in prison, a man known as "the driver" (Dwayne Johnson) is released with a single goal: to avenge the death of his brother, which occurred years earlier when they both pulled off a heist and were betrayed. Thirsty for revenge, he goes looking for those involved one by one... but two men are on his trail, the cop (Billy Bob Thornton), a veteran lawman about to retire, and the assassin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), a young, self-centered hit man with a knack for the art of killing.
Awards
2011: NAACP Image Awards: nominated to Outstanding Directing in a Motion Picture.
Critics' reviews
- "Grim but holds the attention; it does not, however, offer the kind of mindless action excursion that many will be anticipating."
- "The Rock deserves better than this ho-hum revenge picture."
- "'Faster' starts to lay on a heavy-handed message about the importance of forgiveness. That isn't what anyone showed up to see."
- "Tillman does a nice job of calling into question the assumption, shared by most genre films, that vengeance is the only right course of action."
