#214: Faster , Movies recommended or seen lately... les films a voir

Genre: Action

Annee/Year: 2010

Country: US

Format: Blu Ray

Faster. Director George Tillman jr brings us in his fifth feature lenght movie another revenge movie. This type of movie really gets on my nerve as it is becoming more and more popular. But as your mother has been telling you for years: "ain't nothin good coming out of violence" so kids please put on your judgement hat the right way. Let's not dismiss this movie too quickly however.

Dwayne Johnson is cast in the main role here as a ex-con named "driver" who starts going on a rampage right after completing his 20yrs prison sentence. He systematically kills the member of a gang who eliminated his own gang 20yrs earlier to get the hands on their profit from a bank heist. In the process they eliminated Driver's brother and him and this became personnal... Obviously Driver refused to die and came back in the hospital only to serve 20yrs during which time he was preparaing his pay back.

Billy Bob Thornton plays the role of heroin addict crooked cop who is wise and experience enough to maybe catch up to Driver. Carla Gugino plays the straight cop that has to work with Thornton's character on this assignment. They add a good dynamic to the film.

If this was not enough a cool and very intelligent professional killer is sent after Driver to eliminate him before he accomplishes his goal.

An interesting chase between four parties which makes the story interesting and certainly the action level to the max. Entertaining after all and not a bad story with some level of depth makes this an OK movie.

Faster. Un film d'action du réalisateur George Tillman jr qui dans son 5ieme film nous donne un autre maudit film de vengeance. Ces films sont à la mode ces temps ci et ils m`énervent en général. Celui -ci un peu moins grace a un casting solide et une intrigue un peu plus complexe et surtout avec plus de profondeur.

Dwayne Johnson joue le rôle d`un ex-bandit qui sort de prison après vingt ans. Il se lance dans une folle poursuite pour éliminer les gars qui l`ont descendu lui et son frère. Lui a été plus chanceux et s`en est tiré grace a sa plaque de métal dans le crâne.

Il est pour suivit par un duo de policiers: un sombre et héroinomane incarné par Billy Bob Thornton et l`autre une bonne policière jouée par Carla gugino. En même temps sa tête est mise a pris par une de ses victimes potentielles et un super tueur professionel est mis à ses trousses.
Le résultat est beaucoup d`action et de poursuites entre les quatres groupes. Le facteur divertissant et le profondeur des caractères et de l`histoire rendent se film un peu plus que tolérable.

Great quotes:

Marina: Do you know what hell is? It's not fire and devils. All that stuff they taught you when you was little. We make our heaven and our hell while we're alive, Every time we cause pain, every time we cause suffering.
...
Evangelist: [from trailer] Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?
Driver: I can't. [a gunshot is heard]
...
Cop: I created my own hell.
Driver: And I am the demon who crawled up out of it. [a gunshot is heard]
...
Baphomet's Son: How do you have my dad's phone?
Driver: He asked me to call you. Baphomet's Son: Are you the one who killed him?
Driver: Yes.
Baphomet's Son: I'm gonna find you and I'm gonna kill you.
Driver: You do what you need to do. But you better be sure, cause that's a long, dark road you're headed down.
