Pain & Gain is a very entertaining action/comedy with the explosive character that Michael Bay has been entrusted with. The guys act very well for this film and the nod to the comedy is well done. Whether it's all comedy yes, that can be debated because the film is of course based on not so nice actions by these gentlemen. But I had a great time with this movie.

Given that this is a reconstruction of a true crime, this is a remarkably light-hearted vehicle for the often underrated talents of Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson, who here both embrace and ridicule their image as All American Male Muscle. After a seminar from the slick Jonny Wu [Ken Jeong], Daniel Lugo [Mark Wahlberg] is all set to take on the world with what is to become a fitness empire. When wealthy businessman Victor Kershaw [Tony Shalhoub] appears to be offering him a fast track to riches, Daniel enlists the help of friend and bodybuilder Adrian Doorbal [Anthony Mackie] and newly-released cloakroom Paul Doyle [Dwayne Johnson] to put in place a plan that should ensure financial independence. However, naivety and incompetence turn what was a criminal masterpiece on paper into a fiasco. “I watch a lot of movies, I know what I'm doing” Daniel says at one point without any trace of irony. So a hopeless mission in advance! Thanks to the charisma and the comic timing of the protagonist, this is very pleasant to watch.

An excellent film that once again proves that reality is sometimes crazier than fiction. The story could just have sprung from the brains of Guy Ritchie or the Coen brothers. It should therefore be clear where Michael Bay got his inspiration for this film. Bay is not exactly into the subtle that results in a brutal film where the humor part is not for everyone. The gentlemen's wardrobes act excellently under Bay's direction, together they caricatically portray a bunch of idiot bodybuilders whose brains are clearly affected by too many steroids and other stuff. It takes a while for the movie to get going, so don't turn it off right away. You are presented with a film with a lot of violence and black humor, completely over the top, but we are used to that from Michael Bay.
