Film review: 'Snitch' review not solid as 'The Rock'

"Snitch" is the epitome of a "star vehicle." In this case, the star is Dwayne Johnson. There is no reason to see "Snitch" other than Dwayne Johnson. I've seen some movies lately that offer zero reasons to see them, so it's fair to say that Dwayne Johnson is better than nothing. Still, this movie was made entirely as an excuse to put Johnson's face on a vaguely thrilling poster and get his fans into a theater to see something, anything, starring their champion.
