Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Dwayne Johnson returns as a badass bankrobber hot out of jail and bent on revenge, having been jacked on a heist 10 years ago by a rival crew that killed his brother.
Somebody ought to check director George Tillman Jr for steroids: every gunshot sounds like cannon fire, every car engine roars like a rocket-launcher, every tough-guy walk is couched in slo-mo. Johnson wears a perma-frown throughout, but Billy Bob Thornton as a burnt-out cop and Carla Gugino as his partner provide some human relief amid the mayhem. It's the sort of film where somebody can be shot through the back of the head yet still get up and walk.
