Leave your thoughts about Pain & Gain.
| Associated PressDavid GermainAll but the faintest flashes of humanity and pathos are flattened by the cinematic cyclone that is Michael Bay. |
| Las Vegas InformerVictoria AlexanderMichael Bay delivers a terrific, violent, funny heist movie. Wahlberg once again throws himself into the role without movie star ego. He's fabulous - as it seems - always. I learned a lot about bodybuilders. |
| Kansas City StarLoey Lockerby"Pain & Gain" is good enough to be disappointing, which represents some kind of progress for Bay. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenI can't help but wonder if Pain & Gain is the reason Michael Bay was put on this earth. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezThis is easily Bay’s best movie, the work of a filmmaker with a cracked sense of humor that he is able to share with the audience. |
| New York PostKyle SmithA dizzying lowlife saga that’s fast, smart, wicked, sort of ambitious and blazingly ironic. It’s as unpredictable as a Lindsay Lohan drive to the grocery store, as overstuffed as the pictures on Anthony Weiner’s Twitter feed and as hilarious as me on the bench press. |
| Village VoiceCiara LaVelleWhen the story runs off the rails and crashes headfirst into a too-perfect ending, it's because Bay was led astray by the same things that got the Sun Gym Gang into this mess in the first place: superficiality, ambition, and the belief that reality just isn't good enough. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyA brash, vulgar, exhilaratingly vigorous, spontaneously complex hoot of a true-crime movie. |
| HitFixDrew McWeeny... loud and brutal and sometimes quite stupid, it is wildly funny even in its darkest moments, and by my calculations, that makes this a genuine, no apologies surprise from Bay. |
| Screen It!Jim JudyI found that it couldn't pull off the high-wire balance act above its black comedy environs, with the distasteful 'comedization' of the grisly true story only adding insult to injury. (Complete Content Details for Parents also available) |
