Frightening/Intense Scenes: The movie is inspired by a real-life kidnapping, extortion, and murder is filled with shooting, chasing, fighting and blood.
Gruesome, torturous images like barbecuing severed hands to remove the fingerprints are seen, but are also shown in a comical way.
Story: Based on the true story of Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg) a Miami bodybuilder who wants to live the American dream. He would like to have the money that other people have. So he enlists the help of fellow bodybuilder Adrian Doorbal (Anthony Mackie) and ex-convict, Christian bodybuilder Paul Doyle (Dwayne Johnson). Their kidnapping and extortion scheme goes terribly wrong since they have muscles for brains and they're left to haphazardly try to hold onto the elusive American dream
Likes : This was quiet the funny but interest story in a true story film, three dumb idiots thinking they could get away with what they did just to get ahead in the world which ended up in deadly consequence for them. It was funny in place but this is a serious type of film, that really did happen in real life back in the 80s, of three guys trying to get ahead in life but what they decide to do was the wrong way of going about it & thing just spiral out of control.
Mark Walberg ,Dwayne Johnson & Anthony Mackie plays these role brilliantly with some of the funniest scene's & serious scene's in this film, they really do play the character right down to the real people Daniel Lugo (mark Walberg) , Paul Doyle (Dwayne Johnson), Adrian Doorbal (Anthonty Mackie).
This is what crime drama's are all about true story's, murder, drug's & cops, its was a very brave film to make of three people who did something seriously wrong but it show that crime doesn't pay that is the clear message in this film. I will say this is a film worth watching because it brilliantly done to tell a story of a big crime from the 80s, the ending will surprise you to what happened to them after this crime happened but it quiet an enlighten truth behind the social pressure of the 80s business world try to make something of yourself. If your into crime drama's depending on what your into this film is worth watching.
Dislikes : The only thing I would say is don't try this, because you will suffer the consequence of your action's & looking at some states I would seriously think before you even think of doing something as stupid as this.
Overall : Funny moments, Brilliant acting, a worth watching film.
