Snitch is a surprisingly grounded crime thriller directed by Ric Roman Waugh. Inspired by true events, the story follows John Matthews (Dwayne Johnson), a construction company owner whose son faces a mandatory 10-year prison sentence after being set up in a drug deal. To save his son, Matthews cuts a deal with a politically ambitious U.S. Attorney (Susan Sarandon) to go undercover and help the DEA take down a major drug cartel. ⚖️ The Verdict: 3.5 / 5 Stars

Review of 2013 movie Snitch with action and suspense - Facebook

The film serves as a surprisingly effective critique of the American judicial system's draconian mandatory minimum sentencing laws.

Jon Bernthal steals several scenes as an ex-con reluctantly pulled back into the criminal world. Susan Sarandon and Barry Pepper bring incredible gravity and grit to their roles as federal authorities.
