Faster

Faster is a 2010 movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton. Johnson plays "Driver", a getaway driver just released after ten years in prison, who immediately goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the gang of thugs who killed his gang (including his older brother) and stole their bank heist money. Thornton plays "Cop", a burn-out junkie of a detective looking to close out his career on a high note by bringing Driver in. Thrown into the mix is "Killer", a Blood Knight hit man looking to complete One Last Job before retiring to marry his girlfriend.

The film marked a return to the action movies that were Johnson's bread-and-butter before switching to more family-friendly fare. It did not do well at the box office, due to a combination of a sparse plot that kept going on random tangents into Driver's backstory, the "action" consisting of a couple of car chases and Johnson strolling into a building, shooting his target in the head and leaving, and strong box office competition including Tangled, Deathly Hallows Part I, and Unstoppable.

Faster contains examples of the following tropes:

 * Abusive Parents: Implied to have happened to Driver, but it's all vaguely mentioned by his mother.
 * Arc Words: "Forgiveness" and "Finishing what I started" are mentioned throughout.
 * Badass Decay: Killer starts out relatively cool and intimidating but by the end confrontation, he's nothing more than a whining Adult Child who wants Driver to acknowledge his "skills."
 * Best Served Cold: Driver takes out his targets with the same vaguely annoyed expression on his face.
 * Billing Displacement: Tom Berringer is listed in the credits before Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Killer) or Carla Gugino (Cicero). He's in the movie for maybe three minutes as Driver's prison warden.
 * Blood Knight: Killer.
 * Bottomless Magazines: Averted, Driver is seen reloading his Hand Cannon several times using a speedloader.
 * Car Fu: In the Alternate Ending
 * Chekhov's Gun: The in Driver's
 * Cool Car: Driver's 1970 Chevy Chevelle Super-Sport. Killer has a garage full of them.
 * Cradling Your Kill: Happens in the Alternate Ending.
 * Cycle of Revenge:
 * Downer Ending: Amazingly, almost impossibily subverted.
 * Drives Like Crazy: Driver during the bank robbery flashback.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Shown with several characters who are trying to turn their lives around or who have people who love them.
 * Fridge Brilliance:
 * Gotta Kill Them All
 * Hitman With a Heart: Killer
 * In Harm's Way: Killer is a millionaire adrenaline junkie who is compensating for being a sick little boy when he was younger. He is always looking to "master" the next thing so much that
 * Karma Houdini: Everybody still alive at the end of the movie.
 * Not everybody, just  is dead.
 * Kick the Son of A Bitch: All of Driver's targets deserve what's coming.
 * Never Hurt an Innocent: Driver, even to the extent of not shooting Killer when he has the chance because he's not one of his targets. Killer too doesn't shoot Driver In the Back because a child is in the way.
 * Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer showed scenes from the Alternate Ending (the Car Fu confrontation between Driver and Killer) making the film look like an action movie as opposed to a revenge drama, and audiences to expect a final confrontation that never actually happens.
 * Ms. Fanservice: Killer's girlfriend,  doesn't mind spending an entire scene in her underwear with her robe open.
 * My Name Is Inigo Montoya: Played with, though Driver isn't very chatty or polite about confronting the killers.
 * No Name Given: No one ever says Driver or Killer's real names. Cop's name doesn't come up until the end (and then only on a computer printout).
 * Pet the Dog: Driver
 * Pyrrhic Victory: Driver clears his list
 * Retirony: Played straight with  while Averted with.
 * Revolvers Are Just Better: Driver's Weapon of Choice is a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan snubnosed revolver in the .454 Casull.
 * Riding Into the Sunset
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge
 * Suspiciously Specific Sermon: Driver is listening to a radio pastor preach about forgiveness and letting go of vengeance as he drives around murdering the people who have wronged him. Then he goes up to the last guy on his list, and lo and behold, it turns out that
 * This Is Wrong On So Many Levels: Cicero says this word to word when Cop tells her that he married his informant.
 * Throwing Off the Disability: The Snuff Film guy pretends to need a cane to lure a teenaged girl back to his home.
 * Treachery Cover Up:
 * Unskilled but Strong: Killer says that Driver has no skill or technique, at least when it comes to gunplay. What he does have is pure, raw fury, talent, and a complete lack of fear.
 * What Happened to The Mouse?: Driver's "ghost" tattoo. Brought up early as a virtual "Do Not Fuck With Me" sign. Never seen again after the first half-hour.
 * It does get an explanation, just a very brief one; it's his score board from the fights he had in prison. And by "fights", we mean "Curb Stomp Battle / No Holds Barred Beatdown " that he handed out.
 * Women Are Wiser: Played irritatingly straight - all three main male characters have more moral, emotionally mature female counterparts. In fact Cop even has two such counterparts!
 * Worthy Opponent: Killer sees Driver as one to him.
 * X Marks the Hero: Not really shown except in the Alternate Ending, but Driver has an X scar on the back of his head from his surgery.
