Jason Collins is 18 years old and accepted into college for the next
year. He agrees to accept a
package with a large quantity of Ecstasy from his friend. Agents have been tracking the package
and they immediately handcuff Jason and take him to a federal prison. He can reduce his lengthy sentence by
setting up someone else to take a fall for drugs. This is what his friend did to him. Jason refuses to do this and his father
steps in to try to infiltrate a powerful drug cartel. John runs a trucking business and he offers to take a big
load of drugs in one of his trucks.
He says the economy has brought his business down and he needs some way
to bring it back up. He assures
them that there is less risk moving the drugs in a big truck.
OK, this is the Rock, he knows his wrestling, he knows his punching and
he has the muscles but he doesn’t know anything about the underbelly of the
drug cartels! They have plenty of
high-powered guns and they don’t care who they have to take down! This film does stretch believability
concerning the drug dealers accepting John and his story at face value with
minimal checking.
112 min, Action directed by Ric Roman Waugh with Dwayne
Johnson, Rafi Gavron, Susan Sarandon, Jon Bernthal, Michael Kenneth Williams,
Benjamin Bratt, Barry Pepper.

Special Note:
