By Nolan P. Smith (Hesperia) When it comes to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson being in a film, audiences usually have a good idea on what to expect: an all out action flick, a hero who talks with his fists rather than words. A real popcorn action flick is what the star is known for. Snitch is not that type of […]
