Lionsgate/Summit Entertainment
Dwayne Johnson no longer has to affix the moniker “The
Rock” to his name because we all know that he’s become a rock-solid force in
movies. His presence now strengthens the foundation of action-oriented fare
(think Fast & Furious or GI Joe), so he’s stepping out on his own
with Snitch to test the solo waters
once again, this time playing a father eager to get his son’s first-time drug
sentence reduced.
He decides to go undercover for the DEA to collect names and
evidence of high-level drug conspiracy, but finds that he has to play both
sides against each other in order to survive. The presence of stunt performer
Ric Roman Waugh (2008’s Felon) behind
the scenes as co-writer and director means that Johnson’s in store for some
rough and tumble work. Now in theaters. (PG-13) Not screened in time for review
