Dwayne Johnson in the ‘Snitch’ Trailer

Here’s the debut trailer for Snitch, the new action flick starring Dwayne Johnson, Susan Sarandon, Benjamin Bratt, Barry Pepper, Michael Kenneth Williams, and Harold Perrineau.  The film looks like your typical action film that The Rock would star in, although that’s not a very good indication of whether or not this movie will be worth watching. It’s being directed by Ric Roman Waugh, who is a stuntman turned director, with his last film being Felon starring Stephen Dorf and Val Kilmer. I think that second sentence gives us a better idea of how this will turn out.

Snitch will be in theaters February 22nd, hit the jump for the trailer and full synopsis.

 

Action superstar Dwayne Johnson headlines this fast-paced thriller as a father whose teenage son is wrongly accused of a crime and is sentenced to 10 years in jail. In order to clear his son’s name, he dangerously goes undercover and risks everything, including his own life, to reduce his son’s sentence.

The ensemble cast includes Academy Awards Winner Susan Sarandon, Emmy Nominee Benjamin Bratt, and Golden Globe Nominee Barry Pepper.

Inspired by a true story, the screenplay was written by Justin Haythe (THE LONE RANGER, REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, THE CLEARING) and adapted by the film’s director Ric Roman Waugh.
