THE MOVIE: After a lengthy detour into the world of family movies, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is getting back to doing what he does best: action movies. Much fuss has been made over G.I. Joe: Retaliation‘s delay to March 2013, but The Rock has another movie to tide us over in the meantime.
Snitch is a gritty thriller from Summit Entertainment, featuring The Rock as a concerned father out to clear his son’s name of drug charges. In order to do so, The Rock has to go way, way undercover into the dangerous world of drug dealers and armed cartels.
Updates: The trailer for the film is online now. Sure, we wish Snitch was carrying an R rating instead of a PG-13, but with the focus on Fast and Furious-style convoy chases rather than The Rock filling goons with bullet holes, perhaps the rating won’t matter too much.
Either way, prepare for Snitch to spill everything to the feds in theaters this February 22nd, 2013. Introducing the first poster.
