Pain & Gain

Directed by: Michael Bay

Starring: The Rock, Mark Wahlberg, Tony Shaloub, Ed Harris, Ken Jeong

Release Date: 26th April 2013

Plot: Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg) is a regular body builder who works at the Sun Gym along with his friend Adrian Doorbal (Anthony Mackie). Sick of living the poor life Lugo concocts a plan to kidnap Victor Kershaw (Tony Shalhoub), a regular at the gym and a rich spoiled business man, and extort him by means of torture. With the help of recently released criminal Paul Doyle (Dwayne Johnson), the 'Sun Gym Gang' successfully get Kershaw to sign over all his finances, but when Kershaw survives an attempted murder from the gang, he hires Detective Ed Du Bois (Ed Harris) to catch the criminals after the Miami Police Department fail to do so.

Some pretty big star power in this film especially with Michael Bay directing. The Rock looks perfect for this role and Mark Wahlberg has been a consistent performer over the last few years. Nice seeing Tony Shaloub getting a role as well, he is known for his work in Monk, he is a great actor so I know that his performance will be fantastic. I like the sound of the plot so I probably will watch this when it is released.

Looks like something I could possibly get into. I feel as though I've seen this film before though.

Meh, doesn't look like it'll be that great to me. It has potential, and I'll give it a chance, but my hopes aren't high at all.

was shocked to see this is based on a true story, definitely makes me more interested...... Not a Wahlberg fan in the slightest but I might put my bias aside for this one and I am agreed that it's nice to see Shaloub getting a good big screen role (He will always be Antonio from the show Wings to me)

Looking forward to this, I'm a big fan of Marky Mark, Dwayne and Harris. Should be a good flick.
