I don’t get why they even made a movie about this supposed true story anyways. It’s a terrible story. They basically steal a guys identity, take over his possessions, and attempt to murder him and murder a few people on the way.
I saw this recently. Could have been pretty good with a different director.
Could have been a solid movie with an average director, considering the storyline and The Rock alone.
I liked it seemed like Fargo on juice… I like Marky Mark and Rock thought they did a great job. MM went from 185 to 212 for the role I thought that was pretty bad ass

Same. Pretty poor movie.
If you watch this movie with the mindset that it’s going to be anything more than mindless entertainment then you’re doing it wrong. I dont think winning an oscar was the intention of anyone involved with this movie…

Making a movie with consistent tone and of any quality must not have been an intention either…

Oh Snap! “Mindless” is the perfect word for anything that has the Michael Bay bumper sticker slapped onto it.

I remember the breast milk days back in the 90’s. Colostrum was all the rage.[/quote]
I LMAO at the “you ever suck on a pregnant woman titty?” line. Because I have*, and it’s amazing.

True. Black comedy and it was funny.
Anyone who didn’t get it just missed the point.
Having a Jewish man accept Jesus into his heart at gunpoint can only either be sad or funny…and they won at funny.

i read one of your posts for a change, and actually agree.
I dont understand why people cant accept the movie for it is, mindless comedy.

You see that 12 Years a Slave got met with “thunderous applause” at it’s premiere btw? Can’t wait to see it!

The problem is it wasnt funny…and then you’re left wondering, “well if its not funny, what the fuck was it supposed to be?”
Cause it sure as hell didnt succeed in any other departments.
Michael Bay to Mark Walberg:
- “So Mark i need you to play a meathead douche criminal in the mid 90’s Miami, do you feel you’ll bring an authentic performance to the role?”
Walberg:
- “…”
Bay:
- “Excellent”

Indeed, I’m so excited to see Steve McQueen back again, I adore both Hunger and Shame and I’m ecstatic about this one. I’m very much looking forward to Ejiofor in the role, I only distinctly remember him in Dirty Pretty Things and Children Of Men, but this looks like such a strong opportunity for him to showcase his acting on the front lines, and of course with Fassbender and Cumberbatch heading out some of the other casting choices I can’t wait to see the interplay and how the chemistry between all of them starts brewing.
So much fun, it’ll tear my mind from that “Getaway” debacle I was pulled into.
Side note: Do not trust when a pretty young person with an evident lack of real brainpower is cast as a tech genius in a movie. I made that sacrifice once with Liam Hemsworth, and again with Selena Gomez, it pains me to have to make it again.
Dumb and Dumber is great mindless comedy, Pain and Gain is just mindless without the comedy.
Saw it again today, definitely the jewish reborn christian part is one of the funniest.
The bd is must have it!
