One if the best movies the Rock has apoeared in. Action packed movie from start to finish

I don't often give a review of a movie, and not sure how to with out giving away a plot. So I figured I will give a review about other important things, such as the writing and the editing and the cinematography. They are all done very very well. A complete all around well made movie. The plot felt real, not extra dialogue that likely would not feel like it would be normal. The editing between scenes was very very well done. I wish I was their on-set stills photographer, cause it would have been really neat to be a part of this production. And how can I not talk about the actors. Dwayne Johnson is a brilliant actor, especially in this film. He maintained a very defined character through out the entire movie. The supporting actor, Jon Bernthal, did an excellent job with his character. The entire cast really put on a great movie, it's one of the best movies I have seen in years...

As an attorney who practices federal criminal defense law, I saw this movie as generally a very realistic portrayal of what is known as third-party cooperation or assistance in which a friend or family member of the defendant provides assistance to the government in exchange for a lesser sentence for the defendant. Obviously, this kind of cooperation is fraught with danger. But this movie also seems to suggest that imprisoning first time offenders for drug trafficking is unfair and that the war against drugs has not contributed to a decline in drug consumption or a decline in the number of drug dealers. Many thoughtful people, including many defense lawyers, would agree with these suggestions. Rock does a great job in his role as a caring and dedicated father who puts his life on the line to help his son get an earlier release from prison. He is clearly receiving more complex character roles and portraying them with great skill. The only unrealistic component of the movie was the federal prosecutor who appeared to be campaigning during her tenure as U.S. Attorney. This would not be allowed. Otherwise Snitch is an engaging and thought-provoking movie.

I wanted to check out this movie based on Roger Ebert's review. A review far more eloquent than what I can write. That said, this movie did not disappoint in that it gave me an interesting story, supposedly based on real events (and one which was not a rehash of something I had previously seen), action, entertainment, and some food for thought about the current state of drug laws. The director's commentary said he was not taking any particular position. I think he is kidding himself. But that's okay. It is his film. Seeing this on disk and not in the theater, I wonder if the little pre-movie infomercial (for lack of a better word) about high American incarceration rates was shown there. The numbers might be disturbing. But not addressed is the matter of whether our police are simply more effective at catching criminals than in other countries or whether there is just more crime here or whether you believe the numbers reported by other countries. For fans of action movies, especially action movies that make you think, I would recommend this film.

We all know the Rock aka Dwayne Johnson is best known for his action films when he does them. The Rundown, Walking Tall, Fast Five & 6, his comedies Be Cool, Tooth Fairy which would fall under more family fair then comedy and now he tries drama. "Snitch" is inspired by true events of a father hell bent on keeping his son from the slam after being set up with the distribution of drugs. What happens as a result is his sudden jump from smart businessman to drug runner all in the name of the law. The Federal Government to be exact who seems pretty at ease to allow this average citizen to burrow his way into the underworld in order to capture a local drug king just to find out of the bigger cartel king ping is just around the corner. The movie itself holds its own with good performances and situations. The blu side of things Lionsgate offers up an average PQ & AQ presentation with a few extra's good for a once over. Bottom line a decent offering from the Rock as a rental or under $10 purchase.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays construction worker, John Matthews. He finds himself in a bind, when his son, Jason Collins is arrested for reception of drugs with intent to sell. To reduce the sentence, Matthews agrees to work with the DEA to take down a notorious drug dealer, who actually deals drugs for a notorious cartel. Matthews aides the help of a fellow co-worker to do this. Meanwhile, watchers of Snitch will get a glimpse of the dark underworld of what it is like to be a mule for a drug cartel. That's as far, as I will go with no spoilers. The 4K resolution of the movie is superb.

A classic good guy vs the criminal underworld story, but this one has The Rock. It tries to manage some heavy themes, and pulls them off about as good as any summer crime drama would. The settings and the characters aren't going to make you have some giant revelation like the director wants you too, but they are good enough. Its a solid C movie, with some good moments, and a charismatic star.

It starts out slow and builds to a big ending. I'm not confident that this fictional tell is more than pure speculation. It did not seem real enough. But if such seedy characters did exist in positions of US security administration then this movie definitely is an informer of such poor behavior. But his son is not innocent, nor worth all that trouble! Or is he? You decide.

I LOVE THE ROC'S MOVIE'S, HIS ACTING IS GETTING BETTER!!! THIS IS A NOT BAD PLOT KIND OF MOVIE ABOUT A FATHER'S LOVE FOR HIS SON THAT GET'S BUSTED FOR A MISTAKE THAT HE MADE BY DOING A FAVOR FOR A SUPPOSED FRIEND(NOT)! THE BOY GET'S SET UP/BUSTED/BOOKED/DAD DOES EVERTHING IN HIS POWER TO TRY AND FREE HIS SON FROM PRISON BEFORE ANY OTHER DAMAGE IS DONE!!! A GREAT FATHER NO MATTER HOW MUCH TROUBLE YOUR SON IS IN I STIL/LOVE YOU-MOVIE!!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed this movie! Dewayne Johnson's acting has gotten so much better and the graphics in this are amazing! I have the Sony xbr-900e and the newest Sony 4k movie player and I really believe there isn't many Tvs or players that have a better picture than what I have! This is a really great movie to watch with my set up!

This is a great movie that is based on true events. Dwayne Johnson is great and plays a role where he is not kicking butt and taking names. He gets kicked around a bit in this movie, if you are a fan of his you will like this movie. It has a good story line with plenty of action and suspense. This movie shows you what a parent will do for his kid, great movie.

This movie is close to the real world of crime and punishment. Full of action and drama. The family criticism and distance are possible in all relationships that are under the pressure of a crisis. This is a good movie to experience what could happen if you don't take care of yourself, and let your friends guide you in any direction.

How good is Dwayne Johnson as an actor. He has truly made some good movies which I have enjoyed. This one is no exception. A good Saturday night movie with some good popcorn. Very entertaining and looks so good in 4K UHD.

I think this was one of the best movies I've ever watched. Why I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is the 4k disk didn't work and I have the correct equipment and it should have worked. But far as the move it's awesome

I'm not a big fan of Dwayne Johnson but we really enjoyed this movie. Solid storyline and action packed makes it an enjoyable experience. I think you will want to see this one over and over again.

Dwayne Johnson is different than other macho actors he really gets into the role of his characters he really makes his job his job he loves what he does and it translates on film!!! It was different seeing him vulnerable but I did enjoy this movie very much..

Recently upgraded the tv and had to upgrade my blu ray. Definitely better picture quality for one good movie. Not for everyone but the story was decent and acting was on par

I like him as an actor but usually he's just blowing stuff up. This is a different side to him and it was a great side to see. He's still tough but it's got a lot of plot too. Glad I got the hard copy...I'll be watching again for sure.

Pretty awesome movie!... Also luv the rock he did a very good job in it. Had a great plot. Great story actors and the quality of movie I was impressed. He's getting better and better that's why I bought it.

Starring Dwayne Johnson and with a great supporting cast "Snitch" is a really good movie with a plot based on true events that will keep you on the edge of your seat. A father goes undercover to keep his son out of jail on drug charges.
