Snitch


Inspired by true events, Snitch stars Dwayne Johnson as a father whose teenage son is wrongly accused of a drug distribution crime and is looking at a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10 years. Desperate and determined to rescue his son at all costs, he makes a deal with the U.S. Attorney to work as an undercover informant and infiltrate a drug cartel on a dangerous mission- risking everything, including his family and his own life.

This was a decent watch.  I mean, how could a movie with The Rock not be, right?  Seriously though, it did a good job of juggling parents, the legal system, the war on drugs, and hoodlum activity very well.  And it really put a scare in to pretty much any parent watching about how one stupid move by your kids can really explode into something and how far would you be willing to go to protect your kids.  It was also a big change of pace for The Rock because it's not like he went all Rock Bottom on everyone's asses.  He was a scared parent trying to protect his kid.  The dude had to actually act in this and he was pretty convincing.

I would recommend people checking this out.  It's not a must see by any means, but it's an enjoyable and short watch that definitely hooks the viewer and keeps your attention.
