Faster

Synopsis: Following a 10-year prison stint, Driver (Dwayne Johnson) sprints out the gates on a mission to exact vengeance on those responsible for his brother's murder. Within hours of dispatching his first victim, Driver has two men on his tail: a veteran police officer (Billy Bob Thornton) and an eager assassin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). Driver tries to stay one step ahead of his pursuers, but there are hints that his list is incomplete, and his life may be further endangered by an unknown source. [Source: Yahoo! Singapore Movies]

In summary, fast is the revenge but do you have what it takes to stay ahead? There is not much character development to speak of in the movie, just plain gun throttling actions of hunting down one target after another. There is one abrupt twist at the end of who the real mastermind is, which is kind of good, but still could not justify why audiences should pay the money to watch this movie. It will be better to give this one a skip.
