  • The marketing and trailers for this film are somewhat misleading.  In those brief previews of SNITCH, we're given quick shots of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (FAST FIVE) staring down drug dealers, crashing freight trucks into other vehicles and firing shotgun blasts out of car windows.  They're selling this film as the kind of adrenaline-fueled action…

15. Movie Review – Snitch - Fernby Films

  • Oct 17, 2013 · It's this crucial idea to which Snitch evolves as a dramatic work – a man's son is framed as a drug mule, gets sentenced for the 10 years, and ...

  • Director :   Ric Roman Waugh Year Of Release :   2013 Principal Cast :  Dwayne Johnson, Barry Pepper, Susan Sarandon, Benjamin Bratt, Jon Bernthal, Michael Kenneth Williams, Rafi Gavron, Melina Kanakaredes, David Harbor. Approx Running Time :  112 Minutes Synopsis:  After his son is imprisoned for suspected drug dealing, a working-class businessman strikes a deal with the District Attorney to provide arrests in major drug syndicate rings to reduce the mandatory sentence. What we think :  Crackerjack premise is mishandled by director Waugh, although that’s not the fault of lead star Dwayne Johnson. The leaden pacing mitigates the tension of the film, coupled with an inability by the script to really handle the miscarriage of justice on display here, and the end result is a movie that’s strikingly filmed, well acted by most (with the exception of Sarandon, who plays her part like she’s in a kids film!) and typically well produced, but lacks a certain frisson to excite the viewer. Not entirely worthless, but certainly below par.

  • Construction company owner John Matthews learns that his estranged son, Jason, has been arrested for drug trafficking.

Desperately, John convinces the DEA and the opportunistic DA Joanne Keeghan to let him go undercover to help make arrests big enough to free his son in return. With the unwitting help of an ex-con employee, John enters the narcotics underworld where every move could be his last in an operation that will demand all his resources, wits and courage to survive.
