WAYNE “THE ROCK” Johnson (Get Smart) returned
to theaters last week in
the new thriller, Snitch, in
which Johnson plays John,
a father who will do anything to get his teenage son
out of jail. Is Snitch surprisingly better than it ever
needed to be? As a service
to you, we answer every
question that you could
possibly have about Snitch.

04
Why do John and Jason
have different last names?
A terrible divorce is involved,
and Jason took his mother’s
maiden name.
05
Is Jason guilty? Well, kind
of — but not of drug distribution. The movie opens with
Jason’s friend begging him over
video chat to hold on to a package of MDMA for one day since
it’s not smart to fly with MDMA.
Jason never really agrees (that
we know of), but the package
shows up and Jason is arrested.
06
How much trouble is Jason in? Apparently the minimum sentence
for being caught with that much
MDMA is 10 years in prison.
