Dwayne Johnson is one of the busiest men in Hollywood. His first 2018 entry, “Rampage”, opens this weekend. Still to come this year: “Skyscraper” (July 13) and “Fighting with My Family” (Sept. 14). And also in the works: “Jungle Cruise” (Release Date TBA), the “Fast & Furious” spinoff with Jason Statham (July 26, 2019) and “Red Notice” (June 12, 2020). Out of the many films he’s made so far, here are my favorites:
“FAST & FURIOUS 6” (2013) – High energy and pure fun
“GET SMART” (2008) – Johnson had a key, but supporting role in this terrific adaptation of the classic TV series
“JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND” (2012) – Entertaining family adventure; Johnson had great banter with Michael Caine
“THE OTHER GUYS” (2010) – Small, but memorable role for Johnson
“SAN ANDREAS” (2015) – The best action movie of that year (yes, even better than “Mad Max: Fury Road”)
“TOOTH FAIRY” (2010) – Surprisingly heartfelt
Honorable Mention: “SNITCH” (2013) – Decent drama
