Snitch (2013)

My quick rating - 6,3/10. Right around this time was the testing period to see if Dwayne Johnson was ready to take the lead of blockbuster flicks and put butts in theater seats. There were a few pretty good action flix that came out of this experiment before he completely blew up. In this one, he plays an everyday father who tries to get his son out of a drug bust jam by being the snitch himself. The story is written fairly well although it is a slight stretch he isn't shot right away. The action was adequate and entertaining enough. It is nice to also see they already had realized having the Rock in the movie doesn't mean he has to be an unstoppable fighting force.
