Review:
Well, I'll start with the pros, which include that it's violent and that it's a revenge movie. Ahem, the cons...well that's a slightly longer list. The acting was laughable (seriously why is The Rock an actor again?), and the plot was hilariously predictable and eye rollingly cliche. The plot is about a fellow called Driver (the Rock of course) who gets out of prison and then goes for revenge! See turns out that he and his brother are shot up by some bad guys so he's gonna get them back come hell or high water. We also have Officer Billy Bob Thorton on the prowl trying to solve the case. They at least try to throw a few surprises the way of the viewer, however I wouldn't say they were very effective nor surprising. Just the same if you want a simple shoot 'em up revenge flick you could do worse I suppose.
Availability: on Blu-Ray & DVD
