Hey folks, you must give Michael Bay credit beyond his usual 'blast and ass' flicks for this one. He shows himself here to be an actors' director (who knew?) and gets great performances from everyone in the credit roll, with special mentions to Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and ESPECIALLY Tony Shalhoub (who just might get an Oscar nomination as a supporting actor).
Based--to a fair degree--on actual events in south Florida in the '90s (is there a crazier state?) it tracks a bunch of dimwitted juicer muscleheads who become horrorshow sociopaths. Transformers IV?
Pursuing the American Dream via the criminal shortcut, the pumped up Danny Lugo (Wahlberg) has feelings of entitlement, envy and jealousy coupled with just enough glibness to get him over in his dealings with his marks. He is able to manipulate and transform others so they buy into his sick plans or do his bidding. The big muscles don't hurt.
And let's not forget Bar Paly who provides some incredible eye candy for the guys. All in all, a very entertaining and well put-together movie that will give you an enjoyable 2 hours and 9 minutes.
