While the actor was referencing his own body and the muscle he put on for the film, the idea that bigger is better applies to the entire project as the cast, the car chases, the shootouts, and the overall message of the film is far greater than that of a typical action movie.
In the opening scene, Dwayne Johnson, who plays "Driver," is released from prison after serving a 10 year sentence for his part in a bank robbery which resulted in his brother’s death. Immediately, Johnson races down a deserted road full of pent up determination where he finds a waiting black Chevelle complete with weapons and a list of names and addresses in the glove box.
As Johnson progresses through the names on his list, the deaths of the seemingly unconnected victims attract the attention of frail heroin-using veteran “Cop,” Billy Bob Thornton, and an assassin known only as “Killer” played by young British actor Oliver Jackson-Cohen. Completely driven by his goal to avenge his brother’s death, Johnson seems unconcerned that he himself is being followed, but the added pressure definitely presses him to be faster lest his ultimate goal escape him.
