The Best Movies Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Posted on by

Taylor Sanders and ComingSoon posted the 10 Best Dwayne The Rock Johnson Movies.  Usually with posts like this, I use just the choices in their top ten and list my three favorites.  Not this time.

I think Sanders really missed the mark.  My two favorite Dwayne Johnson movies didn’t even make his top ten!  So, without further adu, here are my top three movies starring The Rock

 1.  The Rundown – Johnson plays a man sent to the jungles of the Amazon to bring back a rich man’s son but finds himself caught up in a fight for a lost treasure.  Also starring Sean William Scott, Rosario Dawson and Christopher Walken.  Directed by Peter Berg.

 2.  Faster – The Rock plays Driver, a just-released ex-con out to kill the crime partners that murdered his brother and left him for dead.  Billy Bob Thorton and Carla Gugino play cops trying to catch Driver before he kills again… and Oliver Jackson-Cohen plays a hitman hired to kill Driver.  Faster deserves more love than it gets.

3.  Fast Five – This was Johnson’s first outing as Hobbs for The Fast and the Furious franchise.  Johnson has been excellent in each outing but since this was his first appearance it is the one I went with.
