	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"A pure thriller, all blood, no frills (...) Rotate the plot, change the period, spruce up the dialogue, and this could have been a hard-boiled 1940s noir (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"'Faster' is stripped for action without a moment wasted on unnecessary dialogue, exposition or nuances"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Most of it is pretty predictable, familiar stuff. But Dwayne Johnson has a presence whose sum is more than the total of his acting parts (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"A turgid, ultraviolent parable of revenge and forgiveness (...) As muscle-bound as its monosyllabic antihero."	NEU
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"No matter how guilty our knucklehead-protagonist's victims supposedly are, it's difficult to maintain a rooting interest"	NEG
