I genuinely did not think I would like _Faster_ as much as I did. To be fair, I didn't think I would like it at all, but even so. This might actually be my favourite Dwayne Johnson role. It's almost entirely physical, which suits him very well, but the rare moments when it's not just that he nails too.
_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

This is a great movie with a wonderful cast. Dwayne The Rock Johnson is awesome. He is determined to dispatch the people who did him wrong and ultimately sent him to prison. Some of them have mended their ways and become fairly decent people. Some not so much. It was sad to see some of the characters fall so far and give up. The one story line that distracted me the most was that the movie was supposed to take place in Clark County, Nevada. Clark County is where Las Vegas and Henderson lie. I lived there. The scenery was nothing like Nevada. And for me, that was just too distracting. Although I did watch the whole movie. It IS worth watching.
