With a title like Pain & Gain and Michael Bay at the helm, this review looked like a great opportunity for a vitriolic screed, but that’s not going to happen (…) This isn’t great cinema, but it’s vastly entertaining in an overblown, in-your-face sort of way. It’s funny as hell at times with a twisted sense of humor that one typically expects from the likes of the Coen Brothers and Quentin Tarantino. James Berardinelli
