Based on a true story, Pain & Gain can only be described as a dark comedy/action film. In all honesty, the film's more mild in terms of violence than the real story written by Pete Collins, though the R rating is still well deserved. There were plenty of moments that made me queasy, and I don't really want to think about eating any grilled food for a while. You'll understand. Stylistically, it is a film directed by Michael Bay, so yes, there is the cliche slow-motion walk-away explosion. Why would you expect anything less?
