Pain and Gain Review

Pain and Gain Review

Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Anthony Mackie
Director: Michael Bay
Genre: Comedy, Crime, Drama
Rated: MA
Running Time: 129 minutes

Synopsis: A trio of bodybuilders in Florida get caught up in an extortion ring and a kidnapping scheme that goes terribly wrong.

Verdict: Pain and Gain was definitely not what I was expecting after watching the initial trailer and I am still shocked that the film is based on a true story.

As a massive fan of The Rock (Dwayne Johnson), I believed him and Mark Wahlberg are like -bread and butter' together in a film.

Whilst there were a lot of funny moments they played their part in breaking up the seriousness associated with their stupid behaviour. The film does go to show how ambitious some people can be as the chain of events leading the characters to their demise is hilariously ruthless.

Pain and Gain is a top rated film that is funny and I highly recommend it for all.
Rating: ****
