Dwayne Johnson, the impassive, former wrestling star known as the Rock, plays a getaway driver for a team of bank robbers whose loot was hijacked by another gang and nearly all of whom were murdered in cold blood. Miraculously, he survives with a metal plate in his head and is released after a decade in jail, to wreak revenge on the killers. But why is he being followed by a British hitman whose face is familiar from Lark Rise to Candleford? Is there any reason for him to make no attempt to disguise his identity while stalking around the California town of Bakersfield? Who is the unseen Mr Big who masterminded the massacre? The answers to these questions prove to be not particularly interesting, and the religiose conclusion appears to be a bid for support from the Bible Belt.
