Faster - Red Band Trailer

I’m almost embarrassed to say that Faster had not registered on my radar. Sure, I’ve posted a couple of posters for the film, but it really didn’t click with me, in part I think because I felt severely let down by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. After being hyped as the next big action star, even doing the literal “passing of the baton” from Arnold Schwarzenegger in a blink and you’ll miss it cameo in Welcome To The Jungle, he descended into, well, not a lot. A few films here and there, mostly kids stuff -- gutted.

Well, by the looks of it, he’s back big time in Faster -- check out the Red Band trailer from IGN below, it’s awesome!

Here’s the synopsis:
After 10 years in prison, Driver (Dwayne Johnson) has a singular focus – to avenge the murder of his brother during the botched bank robbery that led to his imprisonment. Now a free man with a deadly to-do list in hand, he’s finally on his mission…but with two men on his trail – a veteran cop (Billy Bob Thornton) just days from retirement, and a young egocentric hitman (Oliver Jackson-­Cohen) with a flair for the art of killing and a newfound worthy opponent. The hunter is also the hunted. It’s a do or die race to the list’s finish as the mystery surrounding his brother’s murder deepens, and new details emerge along the way hinting that Driver’s list may be incomplete.
