As much as I wanted to give the film a higher score as Dwayne Johnson makes a serious attempt at acting, I could not, trying to be totally fair. The film has a plot line that is just too weak and predictable. The entire theme of " the war on drugs " has been done to death!!! But that isn't its only problem. The writing is some of the worst in recent years. Even some ridiculous action thrillers have writing of a higher calibre. One couldn't ask for a greater supporting cast, but if the words aren't there, the cast goes to waste. I never thought I could write anything positive about the Rock, but the guy is a genuinely appealing "movie star". He's really comfortable in his own skin so it's pretty easy for both sexes to like his work. I would absolutely love to see Dwayne, the man in a serious film with a decent script. I do believe he'd pull it off even with his limited acting chops. What he lacks in acting ability is easily balanced with enormous charisma.
KEY ELEMENT: a screenplay of worth.
