Dwayne Johnson , is proving to be more then just a muscle ' in this role he truly shows his emotions and acting in a big way .

Dwayne Johnson plays a divorced man who's loyalty to his estranged son pit's him against not only a small time drug dealer but the entire cartel. Caught between his current family and his Ex he does what he feels is necessary to keep his son from going down on a Federal Trafficking charge. Throw into the mix an ex-con struggling to get his life back together while keeping his own young son away from the life and you have a pretty good story. The Rock has, in my opinion one of his best performances thus far in his movie career! This is an action flick so it's not an Oscar caliber movie but it is dang good! The Rock unlike other films does not morph into a super human Killing machine but instead remains vulnerable and most of all a father. The Action is great, Barry Pepper as a Undercover Narcotics officers portrays a grizzled but compassionate and savvy counterpart. Susan Sarandon plays the U.S. Attorney with eyes on a higher office and Benjamin Bratt Plays the King Pin. Go see this!

This movie had a very melodramatic trailer and with that in mind i wasn't expecting much from this movie but i'm a huge Dwayne The rock Johnson fan so i decided to give this movie a chance and wow this movie good and i'm happy to say my expectations were exceeded and this is easily one of the better movies to come out in first quarter of 2013. Like i said this movies trailer was very melodramatic and while the movie does have some melodramatic moments the pace is so good that when the melodramatic scenes happen they just breeze over them and don't pay much much mind to them but they do take a lot of time on the awesome action scenes ehich they should do. The acting was really good the rock proves that he can hold his own and not be outacted. The is somewhat predictable but the movie is so well done your still on the edge of your seat the whole time. I couldn't suggest snitch enough i'd give it a 9/10

Dwayne Johnson AKA The Rock is an excellent actor in the true base story who take on the Cartel to save his son years in prison. Plus he looks GOOD. Writing did not make sense at times ...examples are: The shooting in the yard not sure if rival gang or test. Cops were called to gun fire but next scene showed all bodies being buried in large grave. Truck chase scene was an A+. Overall I enjoyed the movie.

I've always liked Duane Johnson. He is so versatile a person that it is unheard of. This movie was one of his best, from a compassion standpoint, but you could still see the Rock personified, not necessarily in actions, but attitude. I think that is what makes him a great actor.
