Fast and furious

Faster (2010)

Directed by George Tillman, Jr. this action film stars Swayne Johnson, Billy Boy Thornton and Carla Gugino. The day he is released from prison a man starts a rampage of revenge to get the people responsible for his brothers killing.

When it comes to revenge films they have been pretty much done to death and there is not a huge amount of originality on show here. The script tries to add some depth to the piece with some nods to the idea of redemption and religion but ultimately these are fair shallow efforts. What the film has going in it's favour is that it is fairly well made and keeps going at a brisk pace.

3/5
