Faster

Faster is currently streaming in Australia on BINGE and Foxtel Now, and in the US on fuboTV and Paramount Plus Premium, and its case-by-case structure never gets in the way of the bigger story. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. With 2,120 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Dwayne Johnson's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on BINGE.

There is a reason Faster keeps coming up in conversation. Faster treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. After 10 years in prison, Driver is now a free man with a single focus - hunting down the people responsible for brutally murdering his brother. Dwayne Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2010. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Faster passes that test consistently. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Faster. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Dwayne Johnson anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
