    This is movie that Micheal bay is directing with the rock and marky mark.

    It is based on these articles::

    www.miaminewtimes.com/1999-12-23/news/pain-gain/
    www.miaminewtimes.com/1999-12-30/news/pain-gain-part-2/
    www.miaminewtimes.com/2000-01-06/news/pain-gain-part-3/

    They are a lengthy read might take an half an hour, but it reads fast and you won't be able to stop once you start

    Its a story about a couple of small times thugs who try to rob millionaires in a very cruel and sadistic way. There are plenty of twists including the very end.

    Same here. Don't remember how I was led to them, but the original articles are great.

    It's more of a Michael Mann or Scorsese movie, though. It has great elements: American Dream, immigration, the notion of self-improvement (through physical means/steroids/education), legitimacy of the drug war, police indifference to the above.

    Sucks that Bay will probably screw this up.

    The original story was great. I don't know why he needs to go about changing it. Don't remember any explosions in the story.

    I'll see it because my wife strangely insists on seeing any movie with The Rock.

    Where I come from blondes are a dime a dozen so I find them too generic.

    However, Yolanthe Cabau is in the film... she's really good looking. I might steal her from wesley if I feel like it.

    Michael Bay + 1 **** actor(The Rock) and two very overrated actors in my book(Mackie and Marky Mark).
    Dollar theater movie in my opinion.
