Faster Review Thread (Spoilers) - Blu-ray Forum

It's about time.

Quote:

Variety says Dwayne sometimes known as The Rock Johnson is close to signing for a starring role in a movie called Faster, directed by Phil Joanou, who also worked with Rock on Gridiron Gang.

In Faster, Johnson would play an ex-con out to avenge the death of his brother, killed ten years earlier after a double-cross during a heist gone wrong. It’s being billed as an edgy action movie, something which Dwayne has done far too little of in recent years. In fact, it’s been four years since The Rock did anything even resembling an action movie, and even then it was Doom, a movie which I think we’ve all agreed we’d rather not remember. The last time he did a worthwhile action movie, it was 2004 and you were in a theater somewhere watching Walking Tall. If The Rock beats the hell out of someone with a two-by-four in Faster, I’ll walk out with a smile.

Does he still wrestle with the WWF? Or is he just doing movies now?

I hasn't stepped foot in the ring in probably 5 years. I'm just glad that he's getting back to making movies I'll watch.

Yeah. I also really liked The Rundown. Good Action Star

iori · 05-07-2009, 03:52 PM

Still waiting for the rock's cooking show...

Pondosinatra · 05-07-2009, 04:12 PM

Oh thank God! He's such an amazing talent!

That thing he does with his eyebrow? Pure acting genius! Seriously the guy is remarkable!

Rantlers · 05-07-2009, 04:15 PM

Now we're talking! I love the sound of the plot too, revenge action movies rock! <pun not intended>

YES. I have been waiting for him to go back to the action movies. I thought he was the next big action star but then he started to other types of roles. He was great in Scorpion King, Walking Tall, and the Rundown.

I wonder how long before he teams with Vin Diesel for a two buff cop franchise.

Says it's a rumor, but probably mostly right:

Rumor: Spy Hunter movie hits oil slick, crashes, burns

I like where your head is at.

Now let's say that Lando has a son, and after leading a boring three and a half decades runs into a cave dwelling Luke Skywalker.....

They should do a remake of Tango and Cash.
