A dark comedy that is likely to offend some viewers
This black comedy is inspired by real events… but isn’t as truthful as it claims. Daniel Lugo is a body builder works at a Miami gym as a personal trainer. He believes in the American dream and decides that if he can’t earn the money to buy the things he wants he will steal it. His target is wealthy client Victor Kershaw, who Lugo suspects got his wealth illegally. He recruits fellow body builders Adrian Doorbal and Paul Doyle and set out his plan… they will kidnap Kershaw and force him to sign over all his possessions to them. Once they have him things don’t go to plan.

Since this is a Michael Bay film one might expect lots of explosions but there are none here; there is still his usual style of direction. In some of the more comedic scenes this is effective but felt uncomfortable when things get nasty. Like most films that claim to be true it deviates from the facts of the real case. This serves to make our protagonists more sympathetic. From the start we can see that these aren’t the smartest characters in town. On the plus side I did find myself laughing more than I expected and the cast does a solid job; most notably Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Mackie as Lugo, Doyle and Doorbal respectively; I particularly liked Johnson’s performance as a coke-addled bible-basher. Tony Shalhoub impressed as Kershaw and Ed Wood but in a suitably restrained performance as ex-cop private investigator Ed Du Bois, III who investigates to case and is the film’s most ‘normal’ character. There are some decent action scenes as well as a few disturbing moments involving the dismemberment of two bodies. Overall I’d say that I enjoyed this more than expected; worth a watch if you are an adult fan of any of the stars… it’s not for children!

Not much action, but there is comedy as muscleheads set off to achieve the American dream
Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg) and Adrien Doorbal (Anthony Mackie) are the very definition of muscleheads – more muscles than brains. Paul Doyle (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) is a Christian musclehead who has accepted Jesus Christ as his personal saviour. They believe in the American dream. If other people have what they want, then, therefore, they should get it. That is the full extent of logic that they could exercise. The premise is funny and the film manages to follow through on that promise.

Lugo is the ring-leader, a top-tier body-builder in Miami, and his get rich quick schemes haven’t really panned out all that well in the past, but this time, he’s going to follow the advice a TV commercial life coach: “Do be a do-er, don’t be a don’t-er.” The film starts off rather slowly, apparently letting the writing speak for itself, but the jokes seem a little off-balance. A little low-key (relatively low-key) and are based on dichotomies between what they’re observing and what they’re deciding to do.

For a Michael Bay film, there’s not much action – only one explosion! But the film picks up speed as the muscleheads get further along in their ludicrous plan, and the comedy keeps on coming. They really do say and do the dumbest things, but it’s entertaining to laugh at them because they whole-heartedly believe in what they’re doing. Or at least Lugo believes in what they’re doing; Adrien just doesn’t know any better, and Doyle believes in both God and doing more coke – whichever gives him the better high in the moment.

“Pain & Gain” is set in the ’90s in Miami and although they had a few fluorescent colours and jean shorts, they didn’t give us quite as much topical humour as I was expecting. But the film still suits the times – with a sort of choppy but glamorous look. Rumour has it that Michael Bay used more longer takes than any of his previous films. I haven’t seen any of his recent movies, so I wouldn’t know, but this one is way more geared towards the crime-riddled plot and the comedic writing than any action that the director is known for.

There is a strange obsession with male genitalia – jokes about real ones, and many shots of fake ones to go along with a few characters’ denial of and hatred of homosexuality. I’m not sure what the point of that was. Perhaps that was part of what really happened. Unfortunately, as the narrator says, this is a true story. These muscleheads really are trying to get their piece of the American pie, the stupidest way they know how. It’s also too long – a straight forward crime comedy has no need to be over two hours long.

The appearance of Ed Harris lends the film some credibility – some much needed credibility, and Rebel Wilson adds an extra touch of comedy. Overall, “Pain & Gain” does a decent job of telling a ridiculously true story comedically, and violently, and a little self-indulgently.
