Review of Snitch

Snitch (I) (2013)
6/10
The Rock actually acts in this but feels miscast. Too tough for the role. Better then expected but still a one time watch. I say B-

"You think you know what your doing? You have no idea until you spend the next 10 years of your life in prison." John Matthews (Johnson) is a hard working owner of a construction firm. His son has just been caught with pot and is arrested for conspiracy to distribute. Everyone knows its a lie but he is going away for a long time, unless he gives the feds a name. Not wanting to snitch for his freedom his father decides its up to him. I do have to admit that the movie was a little better then I expected, but still not very impressive. The plot is a really good ten minute idea that is stretched out for an hour and forty minutes. The basic idea of a father trying to help and protect his son has been done over and over, most of the time better then this. I'm not saying that this is a bad movie, but yet again another movie that I just couldn't really get into. One last point is that I think the Rock was miscast. He comes off as tougher then his character should be and it kind of takes you out of the movie. Overall, better then I thought but still a one time watch. I give it a B-.
