The movie Snitch is about John Matthews. When his son is wrongly accused of distribution of narcotics, his son is sentenced to at least 10 years in prison.  John's son, Jason, is given the option to help the police find other drug dealers, which, if he did, would shorten his sentence. This is how Jason got caught with drugs; his friend set him up to shorten his own prison sentence. Jason refuses to do what his friend did to him, no matter how much his parents plead him to. John then makes a deal with a lawyer that if he where to help find drug dealers, it will shorten his son's sentence. One of John's employees, Daniel, agrees to help him, when John agrees to pay him. Daniel, introduces John to a very dangerous drug dealer, Malik. John then embarks on a dangerous journey, with the help of Daniel to catch drug dealers and get his son out of prison.

Snitch was just as action packed and suspenseful as I had hoped it would be. As the movie unraveled, it got more and more intense. The acting was very realistic and believable. The cast could not have been better.The film was very well filmed, and overall it was very enjoyable.

I was on the edge of my seat for the majority of the movie. The movie was full of action and created a very suspenseful mood. Though this type of story was not something that happens every day, there were smaller aspects that the audience was able to relate to. For example, we could relate to how much John cared about his son, Jason.

In addition, the movie was very inspiring. When Jason refused to frame his friends, it showed us that you need to stay true to your beliefs, and if you can stay true to yourself, even during the hardest times, you are a very strong person.

Overall, this movie was truly amazing. For a suspense-filled, action movie it was great! It was also very inspiring with some very important messages. I would recommend this movie to most people.

My Rating:
8.5/10
