I must admit that initially I didn't have much interest in this movie, given its synopsis. But after having seen it, I have to say that this movie was surprisingly entertaining, fun and fast paced.
The movie kicks into gear right from the very start and doesn't really slow down before the end credits started rolling. And there wasn't really a dull moment throughout the entire movie.
The story in "Pain & Gain" was rather entertaining to watch, and the fact that in all its absurdity that it was an actual real story just added to the enjoyment. Some of the things that were taking place was so out there it was just hilarious.
But more importantly, I was rather surprised with the cast. Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Mackie were great in their roles as the criminal bodybuilders. But it should also be said that Tony Shalhoub and Ed Harris were amazing in their roles. Just a shame that Ed Harris wasn't given more on-screen time.
"Pain & Gain" is an entertaining movie that is well-worth watching. Good storyline, good acting, good entertainment.
