This No-Holds-Barred Dwayne Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton Revenge Thriller Is New to Paramount+ and Destined To Blow Your Mind

On the surface, Fastercomes across as an average, rage-fueled revenge flick complete with guns, grimaces, and a trail of dead people. However, it’s way weirder and much more earnest than expected. Rather than trying to be slick, this movie goes full-on biblical. The result is an oddly heartfelt, slightly confused, and sweaty thriller that explores the themes of grief, forgiveness, and the act of shooting people in the face while barely saying a word. At the center of it all is Dwayne Johnson, starring as Driver, a recently released ex-con who’s on a very specific mission: to hunt down every person responsible for the death of his brother after a bank heist goes sideways.
