Not Bad at All
Michael Bay has made a lot of movies. A good many of them I don't care for. However, with Pain and Gain, I found one that I have to say, was pretty enjoyable.
Wahlberg, Mackie and The Rock play three bumbling weightlifters who decide to pull a kidnapping on rich deli owner, Shalhoub. As you can imagine, it doesn't go the way things are supposed to. There are some silly moments in the film, but I actually thought the movie got better as it progressed.
