Snitch

Looking for a dramatized look at how seriously mandatory minimum sentencing laws, laws such as those recently enacted in Canada even though authorities on the subject from the States have sincerely critiqued them, suck?

Look no further.

Ric Roman Waugh's Snitch overtly breaks it down, as one man finds a way to save his son from a system gone wrong, by any means necessary.

The consequences of proceeding by any means necessary harrowingly present themselves shortly thereafter, however.

The only way for John Matthews (Dwayne Johnson) to save his generally law abiding son (Rafi Gavron as Jason Collins) from a lengthy mandatory minimum drug trafficking prison sentence simply for receiving a package which he didn't really want in the mail, is to go undercover for a smug termagant who agrees to reduce his son's sentence if he can infiltrate a criminal organization and instigate the arrest of a well-heeled trafficker, which is the option his son was presented with, but, since he didn't know any traffickers besides his friend who sent him the package and was also arrested, and didn't want to be coerced into informing, he was forced to serve the minimum sentence, the judge having no opportunity to use her or his insight to make their decision.

Cold hard cruel absolutes.

That ignore the evidence.

John swallows his pride again and again and suddenly finds himself ready to take down a kingpin, much to the termagant's self-centred delight.

But in the process, his bold decision and enormous risks threaten everything he holds dear.

The particular sometimes indicates a structural issue that can be modified in order to enhance production.

In Snitch's case, Mr. Matthews functions as a particular designed to modify ethical institutions, his sacrifice directly calamitizing one of their misguided aspects.

However, it's possible that a non-contextual cult has been built upon this potentiality, using it to make antiquated outdated notions seem hip and new, even when the evidence provided by recent similar endeavours can be thought of as wholeheartedly indicating otherwise.

This is a problem.

Great performance by Dwayne Johnson.

I've only seen him in supporting roles and was wondering if he could take the lead.

Job well done.
