History YMMV / Faster

* CompleteMonster: [[DirtyOldMan Kenneth "Old Guy" Tyson]] is the most depraved member of Detective Slade "Cop" Humphries's crew. Introduced [[SnuffFilm recording the murders]] of Gary Cullen and his crew of bank robbers, Old Guy mockingly tells the remaining crewman, James "Driver" Cullen, to "smile for the camera". In the present day, Old Guy lures a teenage girl into his apartment. Sedating her [[SlippingAMickey with a drugged beverage]]--intent on [[SerialRapist raping]] and potentially [[SerialKiller murdering]] her on camera as he has done to at least 12 others--Old Guy is interrupted by the arrival of Driver, who confronts him over his involvement in Gary's death, causing Old Guy to beg for mercy.

** When [[spoiler:the Pastor, a former member of the rival crew who was forced to stand aside during Gary's death]] realizes that Driver has come to avenge Gary, in an emotionally taxing scene, he faces what he believes to be his impending doom with dignity, asking Driver for forgiveness; [[spoiler:when Driver feels he can't forgive the former, the Pastor forgives Driver for what he is about to do, praying that he (the Pastor) be the last victim. Driver spares the Pastor, since he cannot bring himself to kill him.]]

* FridgeBrilliance: [[spoiler:A few times throughout the movie, Cicero would make a revelation about the unraveling plot, to which Cop would reply with a lukewarm "Yeah, maybe." After seeing the entire movie, you realize that he knew those things and was discouraging her from looking further into it and discovering him.]]

* BillingDisplacement: Creator/TomBerenger is listed in the credits before Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Killer) or Creator/CarlaGugino (Cicero). He's in the movie for maybe three minutes as Driver's prison warden.

* UnfortunateImplications: The film seems to be unable to decide if it conveys that revenge is right or wrong or if forgiveness for wrongdoing is possible. Driver is a [[spoiler: KarmaHoudini]] despite going back and killing someone in the middle of surgery, talking to the victim's dead son, and murdering a handful of other people, but Cop, who seemed to be trying to get his life in order, [[spoiler: gets the shaft in the end.]] Why did Driver decide the Preacher was forgivable but Cop was not? He had no idea Cop was trying to get his life right so it makes the entire situation seem arbitrary.
** Except in Cop's case getting his life in order meant wrapping up loose ends, like killing the man who wouldn't die ten years ago. Also it's a virtual trope of itself in revenge fics (those that take place years after the original crime) that the avenger will encounter at least one target (usually with a young child) who regrets what happened and is trying to live a decent life, yet gets killed anyway.

* DullSurprise: Let's put it this way--not going down as one of The Rock's best performances, unless breathing heavily and crying makes you worthy of an Oscar.
* ShowDontTell: The film struggles with this problem constantly. Several incredibly important emotional scenes are simply told rather than shown, such as Driver's father abusing him as a child and his girlfriend aborting his son while he was in jail without telling him, and thus barely have an impact on the viewer.
