FASTER (2010) - Nov. 27, 2010
Though the marketing would lead you to believe that the film consists entirely of the Rock kickin' ass and takin' names, a couple of subplots get as much time as he does (and one of them, featuring a hitman on the Rock's tail, never really goes anywhere, and could have easily been lifted right out of the film).  Decently directed and basically enjoyable, the film feels a bit leaden and not nearly as much fun as it should be (e.g. the long, effective build-up to an anticlimactic bathroom brawl that lasts about two seconds, the fact that both the Rock and his hitman antagonist drive badass cars and never get into a car chase, etc.).  **1/2
