Pain & Gain

Preface: I didn't even finish this thing. The movie follows Mark Wahlberg, an upward mobility obsessed personal trainer. He reads a bunch of self-help books and goes to a seminar along the same lines. He decides that rather than wait out his time until the American dream becomes his, he's going to kidnap a rich client (Tony Shahloub, WI own) and take his fortune from him. He enlists Dwayne Johnson (THE ROCK) and his longtime friend played by Anthony Mackie. I know that Wahlberg's characters name is Danny Lugo, but I really don't remember any of the other characters names. They plan, plot, and get supplies. Surprisingly a bunch of dudes who lift all day and know nothing about anything else aren't criminal masterminds. It's generally ridiculous and boring, but some people may find it funny. Bottom Line: 4.8 out of 10. I enjoyed very little about this film and have about 35 minutes left on it, if I decide to, that I imagine will be even more prolonged misery for me. Don't see this hunk of shit. There is a small bright spot of Ed Harris as a retired policeman who is a private investigator now, so that's something I suppose.
