Review of Pain & Gain (2013) by Barbara C — 30 May 2014
I'm not sure if this is the best movie by Michael Bay, but after watching it this afternoon, and after all those "Transformers" movies and those other big budget films he has done, I believe this movie it's really up there.
It's a very dynamic, entertaining, funny as hell account of a true, despicable and unimaginable crime that happened in Miami in the mid 90s. The Michael Bay stamp is all over throughout the movie, but (I can't believe I'm gonna say this) the movie is elevated to a likable, entertaining level by Marky Mark.
Probably, his best performance since "The Departed". Mr. Mackie is also phenomenal in this. The rest of the cast did excellent as well. Highly recommended!
