We’re loving what we’ve seen so far for Michael Bay’s PAIN AND GAIN, yes, you heard right – Positive excitement to see what he’s come up with for this return to something a little more gritty and less CGI. Most of us in the UK are expecting an unintentional tongue-in-cheek action-accidental-comedy and well, that’s what I think we’ll get.
It’s a pretty simple setup as a trio of bodybuilders in Florida get caught up in an extortion ring and a kidnapping that goes very wrong. What more could you want from Bay and the cast of Dwayne Johnson, Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Mackie and Tony Shalhoub?
Check out the red band teaser clip below, which sees Wahlberg’s character Daniel Lugo giving some harsh lessons in reality to some kids while playing Basketball and scroll down for the poster, brilliant:
PAIN & GAIN is released in the UK on August 30th.
