Snitch True Story: What Really Happened & What The Rock’s Movie Changes

The Rock’s 2013 film Snitch was inspired by a true story, but the two stories are far from similar, with the movie changing quite a few events from what really happened. Dwayne Johnson plays John Matthews, a father desperately trying to keep his son Jason out of prison. With the threat of a ten-year minimum prison sentence, John meets an attorney who agrees to reduce Jason’s sentence in exchange for him informing on a drug dealer. This leads to an action-packed journey that shines a light on the world of drug dealing and criminal morality and ethics. Snitch was rated 57% on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of release, and was added to Netflix in September 2023, bringing in a brand-new wave of audiences.
