More is less
True Crime/Comedy MA15+
What's it all about?: Three bodybuilders try to make
it rich by kidnapping a millionaire.
The Verdict: More
pain than gain.
2.0/5.0
You have to hand it to Michael Bay (Transformers, Armageddon), he’s nothing if not consistent. He snubs subtlety again with this roided-up crime romp based on a true story.

"A mildly entertaining, knuckle-headed outing that falters under the brute force of machismo."
When three opportunistic Miami body builders - Daniel (Mark Wahlberg), Paul (Dwayne Johnson) and Adrian (Anthony Mackie, The Adjustment Bureau) - swindle a millionaire with the cocky, self-help-spouting fitness evangelist Daniel leading the charge, hedonism and violence ensues.

Somewhere amongst the ironic dunderheaded talk of percentage body fat, pecs and “the American dream” is a mildly entertaining, knuckle-headed outing but despite an estrogen hit from Aussie import Rebel Wilson it falters under the brute force of machismo.
This review appears in the September 2013 issue of Empire magazine.
