About this Article

"Snitch" shows just how far a loving father will go to free his innocent son from the slammer where's he been sentenced to 10 years. This thriller has such lazy direction and even lazier dialogue that it seems to last about that long, too. Generic characters deliver so many clichés that they never seem genuine, just actors spouting lines without a whit of conviction or personal connection.
