Snitch - DVD

Things that go on around the world that you can't believe.

Just as good as I remember definitely happy

Was a gift

I appreciate the general thought of "do whatever it takes to protect family", so when they make movies with such a plot, I am willing to give it a shot. Snitch is along that lines. Kid gets busted on drug charges, dad does what he needs to do to get kid out of prison.They intentionally kept the film "low key". By that I mean very little gun play and light stunts. The car chase towards the end of the film was their big stun tbudget moment. It was respectable, but you can feel them holding back explosions and excessive over-the-topness to keep the low-key feel going. And, I can respect that. Not every film with "the Rock" needs to be over-the-top, especially one with a "hidden" message.The message thing was sort of heavy handed in its delivery. You see, this entire film is basically a public service advertisement to draw peoples attention to the draconic and flat out unfair laws regarding certain aspects of drug crimes. It is these laws that the kid got wrapped up in and got 20+ years in hardcore prison. They take every opportunity to bring it back to the forefront and make you notice it again. While I appreciate films with a message, they overplayed their hand. They shoved it at you at every chance and it takes you out of the story. (For those curious, they do a decent job going in-depth during the special features on the laws in question.)Rent/Netfix, yep. Buy? Not really, no.

Good movie.

A lovely movie! No, really, I mean it! This Movie is shockingly smart and even touching. As a parent, you will be touched to see just how far the father (Dwayne Johnson) in the story is willing to go to keep his son free from the wrong and long arm of the law. His kid does something stupid for a friend involving drugs and the police want to incarcerate him for 10 years. He's just a teen so that would mean an end to a bright future. His mother resents his father because after their divorce he wasn't exactly there for him in that paternal way. So the dad strikes a deal with the district attorney (Susan Sarandon) to deliver her drug dealers that she wants in exchange for his son's freedom. It all is a bit much toward the end but the thing that is most touching is the relationship between parent and son. I would recommend it whole heatedly

Snitch112 minDrama/ThrillerFebruary 22, 2013USADirector: Ric Roman WaughWriters: Justin Haythe, Ric Roman WaughStars: Dwayne Johnson, Jon Bernthal, Susan SarandonBased on a true story, this is not your typical Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson action movie. It is good, but it is good in a true life sort of way and not so much as an action thriller. There is action, but it comes later in the movie. The key stressed idea is the laws against first time offenders are unfair. A young man is thrown in prison after he is set up and framed for a drug deal by his friend and the police. Since he doesn't know anyone to snitch on to get off he is destined to serve out a ten year sentence. His friend got off by trapping him in a deal he didn't even want to do, for distribution even when he never used the drug or sold it to others. Johnson plays his dad as a large business contractor with Semi trucks. He gets the DA to allow him to "Snitch" on the drug cartel by getting into their transporting operation. Sad to think this is where our legal system has gone to try and look good to the public. If they are hurting for busts this bad it is time we reform the laws and have them focus on other crimes. Although I am glad I rented it, I don't feel this has any rewatchability so I won't buy it.Recommendation: America's Most Wanted: John Walsh in Conversation with Geraldo Rivera: Live at the Paley CenterCA Luster

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...

The moive quality is very good. Delivery was prompt.

Great film and it was region free as advertised
