Chicago Reader
The film never outshines its influences, but as back-to-basics action filmmaking, it's often superb. - 70
Movieline
Built for speed, and for an action-savvy audience who can appreciate a throwaway vengeance flick for exactly what it is. - 63
Boston Globe
Faster is meat-and-potatoes action with a side of crazy. - 63
Chicago Sun-Times
A pure thriller, all blood, no frills, in which a lot of people get shot, mostly in the head. - 60
Arizona Republic
A stripped-down affair, from title to characters to plot. It never strives to be more, instead concentrating on making the most of its self-imposed limitations. - 50
Austin Chronicle
This is meat-and-potatoes (and bullets) action filmmaking, although, really, that title's got to go. - 50
Chicago Tribune
Dwayne Johnson leaves his lovable self behind in the violent but bland Faster. - 50
L.A. Weekly
The archetypal names are pure Walter Hill, the single-minded grudge mission borrowed from Donald Westlake's Hunter books - fine antecedents, though director George Tillman Jr.'s style is anything but terse, indulging rote slo-mo swagger set to secondhand musical cues.
