Snitch Ratings & Reviews
Grantland
Wesley Morris
Snitch runs close to two hours, and it's a credit to Summit Entertainment that they didn't reduce it to 90 minutes of Mexican drug loons trying to run John's truck off the highway.
Entertainment Weekly
Keith Staskiewicz
The film tries to paint in shades of gray with vague criticisms of the war on drugs, but the absurdity of its he-man Everyman plot ends up turning its moral palette a muddy brown.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
In the end, this is a movie that lives or dies on Johnson's performance, and luckily, the actor is perfect ...
Birth.Movies.Death.
Amy Nicholson
Yes, this is a film where The Rock Wikipedias "drug cartels." But somehow it works.
Film.com
William Goss
Despite its apparent compromises to noble finger-wagging (initially) and requisite fist-pumping (eventually), Waugh has fashioned a sturdy character-first entertainment out of Snitch.
TIME Magazine
Mary F. Pols
Dwayne Johnson tries so hard to be taken seriously in the ponderous and preposterous drama Snitch that it hurts to watch him in much the same way it hurts to watch the weightlifting competition at the summer Olympics.
Detroit News
Tom Long
When the list of the year's most eminently forgettable films is drawn up at the end of 2013, "Snitch" will likely be near the top.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"Snitch" is protein-and-starch filmmaking at its utilitarian -- and belly-filling -- best.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
The dialogue is preachy, the drama too earnest and the action kind of sluggish, though it's hard not to get a jolt when Johnson jumps behind the wheel.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Based on a true story, it has the weirdness of real life, which is good. But also like real life, it has that funny way of not making much sense or being all that enjoyable.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
We never feel the sense of peril that would create some tension, and we miss the expected sense of satisfaction when no cans of whup-ass are opened.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
In its focus on an ordinary family facing a nightmarish scenario, Snitch is a terrifying but relatable story.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Mr. Johnson's screen presence, however charismatic, is out of sync with the rest of the movie.
NPR
Scott Tobias
Whatever lizard-brain fun might have been had in watching Johnson do battle against a drug cartel is weakened by the occasional hard tug at the social conscience. The film winds up divided against itself.
Deadspin
Tim Grierson
"Snitch" takes on the demeanor of its star: It's earnest, genuine, likeable, a bit of an underdog.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
Its nominal outrage over the severity of our nation's sentencing laws for first-time drug offenders is quickly subsumed by a jacked-up narrative of a father going to extremes to save his son.
Newsday
John Anderson
Ultimately, the social-issue element of the movie gets buried in the wreckage, but it's comforting to know it's there.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
Nobody is going to confuse a Dwayne Johnson movie with "Les Misrables." But "Snitch" gets a decent amount of drama (and action, of course) out of the argument that there's paying for a crime, and then there's overpaying.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
For all its lunkheadedness, "Snitch" is a shockingly deeper, less action-oriented affair than one would expect ...
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A glorified TV movie ...
