How far would you go to save your son?: In this particular case in a nutshell John Matthews [Dwayne Johnson;] a business man of lorry distributing [meaning he has business of lorries distributing goods;] he makes a deal with District Attorney Janne Keeghan [Susan Sarandon] to go undercover to bring Malik a.k.a. Mark Anderson [Michael K. Williams/Michael Kenneth Williams;] with unknowingly at first Daniel James a.k.a. Cruzer [Jon Bernthal] down reduced from his son's Jason Collins [Rafi Gavron] potentially lengthy prison sentence. DEA Agent Cooper [Barry Pepper] has a quick decision to make between taking Malik or go for a bigger fish? Well you will have to watch to find out what he decides to do.

The pacing of this 112 minutes film is not the most quickest of films I have ever seen, but generally speaking it is like the rest of this film solid it knows what it wants to do and sticks to the plan.

Art: there are a small amount of occasions where we see the sky clearly moving; these are small and elegant moments.

Action: of what we have of the action involving a lorry these would be the notable action scenes of this film.

The character developments and the performances; on reflection I would say they were all good, their character types are what they are meant to be and the performances are likewise all good, the reason why I am being very deliberate in thinking about this is because I have been thinking about the pacing problem as in it leaves these performers high and dry so it comes off the feeling like they have to fill some of this empty space, so it is a very good thing that they chose Johnson to be in the lead role, because I knew him from his wrestling days originally and because he is not only a physically big guy, he can also fill up any screen with his stage presence which in this film he acts like the spearhead behind it, yes absolutely the other performers working off one another without Johnson they do good stuff as well, but this is another one of Johnson's films from his early years that you look back on and you go this guy is not only going to be a massive star in the wrestling industry, but also the film industry as well.

 This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed, as I have already referenced it is a solid film, so who knows if this film had a quick and pacing to  it I may have given it a higher marking, but that is all based on speculation and if you are a fan of Dwayne Johnson take a look at this film and it also has a Nominee accredited to its name and yes I know it has nothing to do with this film, but it is here nonetheless Acapulco Black Film Festival 2014 Hollywood Award  Artist of the Year Dwayne Johnson For Furious 6 , Pain & Gain and G.I.
