Summit Entertainment has just revealed a new trailer for upcoming action-thriller Snitch. This trailer is actually the first I’ve heard of the film, but it’s definitely on my radar now. Sure it looks formulaic, but the performances look great, and it raises the important question: how far would you go for your kids?

What do you think? Snitch hits theatres on February 22nd.

In the fast-paced action thriller SNITCH, Dwayne Johnson stars as a father whose teenage son is wrongly accused of a drug distribution crime and is looking at a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10 years.  Desperate and determined to rescue his son at all costs, he makes a deal with the U.S. attorney to work as an undercover informant and infiltrate a drug cartel on a dangerous mission — risking everything, including his family and his own life.

Check out the first trailer for Snitch starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Johnson plays a father who, in order to keep his son from going to jail, is forced to work with the feds to take down a drug kingpin. This movie definitely has a good cast and could end up being a fun movie. Or it could end up being one of Johnson’s other not-so-good flicks. We’re going to wait and find out on this one.

Action superstar Dwayne Johnson headlines this fast-paced thriller as a father whose teenage son is wrongly accused of a crime and is sentenced to 10 years in jail.  In order to clear his son’s name, he dangerously goes undercover and risks everything, including his own life, to reduce his son’s sentence.

The ensemble cast includes Academy Awards Winner Susan Sarandon, Emmy Nominee Benjamin Bratt, and Golden Globe Nominee Barry Pepper.

Inspired by a true story, the screenplay was written by Justin Haythe (THE LONE RANGER, REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, THE CLEARING) and adapted by the film’s director Ric Roman Waugh.
