Dwayne Johnson at the European premiere for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
2025 has been a great year for both Dwayne Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton. The former finally silenced his critics with a potentially Oscar-worthy performance as Mark Kerr in the Benny Safdie-directed The Smashing Machine, whilst the latter debuted his second season of Landman, the hit neo-Western series from Taylor Sheridan that is tearing up the streaming charts.
However, at the same time and on the same streamer, a forgotten action thriller starring both these Hollywood mainstays is also proving hugely popular. At the time of writing, the 2010 thriller Faster is one of the ten most-streamed movies on Paramount+ in the U.S. The film joins a stacked line-up currently entertaining audiences on Paramount+, including two Tom Cruise flicks in the blockbuster hit Top Gun: Maverick and the true-crime movie American Made. Sadly, Faster didn't impress critics upon arrival, earning just 41% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus reading,"It's good to see Dwayne Johnson back in full-throttle action mode, but Faster doesn't deliver enough of the high-octane thrills promised by its title." A synopsis for Faster reads: "Following a 10-year prison stint, Driver sprints through the gates to take vengeance on those responsible for his brother's murder. Within hours of dispatching his first one, he has two men on his tail: a veteran police officer and an eager assassin . Driver tries to stay a step ahead of his pursuers, but there are hints that his list is incomplete, and the unknown person may endanger his life." 'Faster' Flopped at the Box Office Although Johnson's movies often prove popular with theatergoers, he's also no stranger to a box office flop, as was seen with the recent The Smashing Machine. Made for a reported $24 million, the film earned just $35.7 million worldwide, split between a $23 million domestic haul and a further $12 million from overseas markets. On its November 2010 debut, Faster only managed to finish seventh in the domestic weekend ranking, failing to compete with other new arrivals such as Tangled and Love and Other Drugs, and joining most of the 2010 slate in losing to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. Dwayne Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton's revenge thriller Faster is a streaming hit on Paramount+. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming stories.
