How far & low people will go for money!

How far & low people will go for money!
It was not what I expected. I think that the rock played a character that was unlike the other characters he's played before. Great job on that! I gave it a 4 star because it was interesting and unusual. This was based on a true story about how far & low people will go for money. Cheating their way through life using drugs and abusing the system. But it does show how gullible people can be by trickery. I needed to see the end of the movie because I wanted to view the real players that did so much damage to others with their stupid acts. If you think that this movie is about getting in shape, it's not! If you are looking for something unusual and with some funny parts, then this could be it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pain + Gain x Florida = OMG!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2013

The 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gain, if you can stand the pain
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2014

The last year brought four films which, in different ways, deal with the same topic: amoral materialism run amok in today’s America. They are: The Bling Ring; Spring Breakers; The Wolf of Wall Street; and Pain and Gain. In my view, despite its brutality, crudity, and ugliness, Pain and Gain is the best. If you can stand it.

Amazon’s customer reviews reveal roughly a 50-50 split. Interestingly, Rotten Tomatoes.com, which collects critic reviews on films, shows a virtual tie between the pros and the cons. The outraged negative reaction doesn’t surprise me. Pain and Gain is not a pleasant film. Many people were turned off by the raw language and sexual references. Others abhorred the violence. And others, oddly, despite all that sex and violence, were bored.

That the Bling Ring was directed by Sofia Coppola may explain why it fared somewhat better with the critics--but not with Amazon customers--than Pain and Gain. That Pain and Gain was directed by Michael Bay no doubt hurt the film with some critics. (What if the same film been directed by a critical darling like Quentin Tarantino? Pulp Fiction overflows with both violence and crudity.)

Pain and Gain isn’t a comedy. Overall, the mood is pitch black. There is simply nothing funny about graphic violence inflicted on even sleazy victims. Still, the film contains many absurd, laugh-out-loud moments, such as when the criminals botch the first kidnap attempt or when one of them fastens the victim’s seat belt before crashing his car. Or when head criminal Mark Wahlberg organizes a Neighborhood Watch meeting, after moving into victim #1‘s posh house.

Other moments produce reflexive shock laughter, the kind we’ve all experienced in life.

The film’s message about greed, the things people do for material gain, is bleak indeed. And, in this regard, the film is absolutely uncompromising and stark. Here we’re not dealing with Wall Street crooks or spoiled 20-somethings in L.A. Here the stakes are , great bodily injury, life and death.

To Michael Bay’s credit, he does not play the murder scene for laughs. And he doesn’t prettify the three attempted murders on victim #1, though the victim’s resilience does produce shock laughter. (He does cross the line, however, when the males at the Neighborhood Watch get-together eagerly volunteer to role-play an attempted rapist. Not funny.)

The writing is damned good, with a spot-on sense of real-life criminals. Prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, and judges can cite chapter-and-verse about criminals who overrate their intelligence, who turn on one another when the going gets rough.

The cast is terrific. Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson (yes, he can act), Anthony Mackie (from “The Hurt Locker”), Tony Shalhoub, and Ed Harris.

I’m not a Michael Bay fan. But he’s made good films before. (See, “The Rock,” selected for the elite Criterion Collection DVD series). He’s done it again. If you can stomach the violence and deal with the sexual references, Pain and Gain is well worth watching. Otherwise, avoid.

First 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.

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.

After seeing the trailers for this I thought it was going to be junk but after seeing it on a whim I am glad I did. An excellent movie that shows us what transpired in the early 90s with the Sun Gym gang (albeit a few things are added in for comedic effect). The fact that for the most part it stays true to the actual story makes it much more compelling and disturbing as the movie goes along.

Well worth a watch!

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!
