Latino Review:
Ever since it was announced years ago, I have been tracking Michael Bay’s meathead movie Pain And Gain, which is based on Pete Collins awesome three part Miami New Times article. Pain And Gain tells the story of Miami’s infamous Sun Gym Gang who had a penchant for steroids, strippers, and quick cash. Most serious meatheads have a penchant for those things regardless, but the Sun Gym Gang engaged in kidnapping, torture, and then eventually murder. It was a fascinating read. Mark Whalberg is playing ringleader Daniel Lugo and The Rock is playing Lugo’s wingman Adrain Doorbal. (Cinema, John Turturro, Pain & Gain)
