- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2013The decision to go funny-dark instead of serious-dark when telling this true horror story is done for one obvious reason: These crooks are ate-UP with stupid. Even if the pool was empty, they'd still be drowning in stupid. And you gotta give Florida credit; NO one does crazy like Florida.
Mark Wahlberg as Chief Crazy in Charge just nailed it. If you loved Wahlberg in The Other Guys, he brings the funny here too, while still playing the positive-thinking psycho-killer. Even rewound a couple times just to watch his face as he ripped some major snappy dialogue. Part of what makes Wahlberg funny is his flow and patience to wait for *just* the right beat to make his move. He doesn't tell jokes or do schtick, thank god. He just convinces us he's completely unaware that what he's saying is hilarious.
Anthony Mackie brings his own special crazy, especially at the strip-club bar when he's tripping on just how big he's gonna get in that gym: Ima get SWOLE! Ima have to turn SIDEways and shiat just to walk through tha door!!. Because Dwayne Johnson played the guy who was Christian with still a tiny bit of conscience while snorting dumpsters full of coke, he had to tone down his funny from what we saw in The Other Guys, and only once do we get to see him do that blazing adorable full-faced smile of his.
Of special note is Emily Rutherfurd who all-too-briefly played Ed Harris' wife. That kind of wicked-smart and wicked-cool makes her wicked-funny. We desperately need more nuanced female roles like this and the actresses who can handle it. Ken Jeong as the slimy, cliched motivational speaker was the perfect choice. Jeong can work a crowd like nobody's business.
The trial highlights narrated by Ed Harris will leave you utterly gobsmacked and Googling for more details of the real criminals, their real crimes and their real trial.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2015First of all I'd like to say I was surprised to find out that this film was based on a true story, with that said, I found this film to be entertaining, I thought it was funny, (cheesy in certain parts), Tony Shalhoub ( Victor Kershaw ) is one of the funniest actors I have ever had the pleasure of watching whether he's in the TV series Monk or some other film that has comedy. And he's a great actor in dramas as well, I literally was drinking a sprint and spat it out because of how funny he was, Anthony Mackie ( Adrian Doorbal ) who I've seen in other films. I never thought that he was as hilarious as he is, this film starts out with Daniel Lugo ( Mark Walhberg ) who is a fitness trainer and a wannabe entrepreneur and his scheme to become not only a wealthy, entrepreneur. But a somebody within the city where he resides. He gathers a team: Adrian Doorbal (Anthony Mackie ), and Paul Doyle ( Dwayne Johnson ) to discuss the plan that he has for all of them to become wealthy and "somebody's" in the community of fitness, at first Paul needed to be persuaded to go along with the plan, after all are aboard with the plan. What comes after they've agreed, is a very entertaining film, the film held together and I didn't see any loopholes in the plot, if you're in for a good laugh check this film out.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2025Just ok, fun to watch if you are a fan of Dwayne Johnson & Mark Wahlberg
- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2017A hysterical look at a sad, crazy, but true story that happened in Miami. I live in South Florida, and remember when this stuff happened. If not for that knowledge, I would probably disbelieve the "True Story" claim. The Rock and Mark Whalberg play 2/3 of a bumbling, steroid fueled, body building crime gang. The fact that these guys were able to get away with what they did for so long is just a testament to how brainless, stupid, and unbelievable their actions were. Their only plus was how disliked the original victim was and how impossible his story was to believe. You watch the mayhem, laugh, and just keep asking yourself that question over and over...How could these idiots possibly get away with this? The true to life events were in no way funny, but in hindsight the ridiculousness of it all makes you laugh. The Rock, Wahlberg, and the supporting cast are all great, and play the events up for the laughs. This is a standout role for Dwayne Johnson. He is excellent as the big, cokehead, dufus, and Wahlberg's constant infomercial yammering drives the hi-jinx along. One of the best moments in the movie is when the film makers pause during a particularly ridiculous moment to remind you that, indeed, this really happened. Good stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Klasse Hollywood Kino
Immer wieder höre und lese ich schlechte Bewertungen über diesen Film, was ich absolut nicht nachvollziehen kann.
Abgesehen davon, dass ich Mark Wahlberg und Dwayne Johnson sowieso als Schauspieler gerne sehe, habe ich mir diesen Film bereits mehrmals ansehen müssen, weil er einfach ein kurzweiliger Ausflug ins Popcorn Kino darstellt.
Mit dem Hintergrund der wahren Begebenheit wird man von Beginn an in das Geschehen geworfen und fragt sich sofort, wie konnte es dazu kommen? Oder besser: Wie können Menschen so blöd sein und alles auf dem Weg nach oben riskieren?
Um diese Frage beantworten zu können, hilft dem Zuschauer die Erzählperspektive, die von einem der Protagonisten eingenommen wird, denn durch diesen netten, kleinen Kunstgriff kann sich der Zuschauer (zumindest ein wenig) in die Hauptfiguren reinversetzen und denkt bei jeder noch so blöden Entscheidung: "Jap, so hätte ich es auch gemacht." - oder halt nicht XD
Hier wird einem harte Action geboten, gemixt mit (Möchtegern-) coolen Sprüchen und ganz viel Selbstironie, die in wunderbar unterhaltsamer und überspitzter Weise die Irrwege des "American Way of life" aufzeigt. Und das immer wieder mit einem Fünkchen Realität. Klasse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining No.Tragedy You Bet..
"Pain & Gain"the movie that some people think was painful to watch,i totally disagree
with their assumption,you can almost tell from their review they never took the time
to actually understand what has transpired to the moral of the actual story,when these
three ambitious thieves,i will call them thieves and nothing else,decide to chase the
American dream so to say,kidnapped the said character of the movie [Tony Shalhoub]
and try to torture him into signing all his life savings away to them,but the true nature
of this movie is that the police when it was explain to them what had happen could not
accept what had happen because of who he was,until one retired detective decide to
investigate the case,now these three clowns not only held him against his will they
also Killed Two People that i find absolutely not funny,now you people mite think this
movie was suppose to be funny even the critics and the writing on the back of this case
called it an hilarious action comedy,i beg to differ,i call this a bloody tragedy,if anyone
would think this to be funny not only that,Michael Bay did a bad job at this you're so wrong,
he actually showed what these three were made of,would you believe one of them is
on the street to this day,i hope he tells one of you reviewers how funny is was one day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvellous Movie
This story is brilliant marvellous actors on the front line there is no way this movie is going to be boring, Action and comedy mixed together what more do you want. Now two trainers want more than they have got and that's the American dream. Somewhere down the track they get caught up with the criminal enterprise that goes astray, Now with that bit of intelligence there can only be a lot of mistakes along the way. I rated this an A grade plus for the fast paced and fresh ideas that come to light in this movie based on what really happened. The action is great and a touch of comedy that will have you tied up in stitches. Time for your feet up popcorn in hand, try to relax in front of the television with a fabulous movie that will have you sitting upright, taking note of everything going on from beginning to end. Highly recommended and no disappointments, now you can see for yourself and be a judge. Enjoy!
