A sampling of reviews for 'Snitch', the new movie opening this weekend from Dwayne Johnson:
"Half crime thriller, half family drama, with a bit of legal and behind-prison-walls suspense... like watching an elephant on ice: inelegant, but you admire the effort." - Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
"...shrewd in its balancing of our sympathies.... it keeps you guessing about the next turn, and keeps Johnson's character compellingly at the mercy of others." - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
"...shot with a mix of nervous close-ups and weirdly vertiginous angles.... the B-movie action version of an advocacy doc..." - Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
"...competent if unremarkable... it lacks a certain suspense.... Johnson, with his low-key charisma, may not yet be an actor, but he's certainly a movie star." - Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times
"Dwayne Johnson leaves his preening pro wrestling persona at the door... a crisply detailed yarn about being caught in the middle between law and disorder." - Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times
"...mildly overachieving... a moderately engaging character study of men driven to dangerous extremes by desperation... Johnson is a consummate entertainer..." - Nathan Rabin, AV Club
