Snitch Movie Review

Snitch Movie Review 

As most of you know Oz the Great and Powerful came out today. Instead of seeing that like a sane person, I saw Snitch because it was the best thing playing. This is the live action Brave except father son and drug dealers. Dwayne Johnson plays a father who's son gets arrested for alleged drug distribution. His friends sends him a package with lots of drugs and he excepts. The son gets caught and goes to prison. Dwayne Johnson now makes an offer to help catch drug dealers in order to help his son reduce his ten year sentence.
Now going into this film I was nervous about it being to predictable. It didn't have a really big plot twist but the action was good and the story was consistent. The director really made this film full of suspense because the situations are the usual but the character actually gets hit and shot a few times which makes it more realistic.
One actor from this film that I see having a future in action films is John Bernthal. He plays the ex con who helps Dwayne Johnson's character. His fight scenes were intense and he carried himself like he was Jason Bourne. His emotion was great you could see the love for his child and wife and the passion that drove his character. I wouldn't be surprised seeing him as another one of the Bourne series program.
In conclusion, Snitch is overall a good time. This film is suspenseful and has lots of great action scenes. I am giving it a 7 out of ten. The only thing this film lacks is a big plot twist. Dwayne Johnson dying would have been really unexpected. They capture the bad guys but the hero dies. It would send the message of what a parent is willing to do for their child. If you can't catch Snitch in theaters then wait for red box. Its worth seeing because its suspenseful and has some heartwarming moments.
