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?

Over the last several years, numerous films have come out detailing the rigorous lives and heartache that comes with war. From last year's Stop-Loss to 2006's Home of the Brave, studios are attempting to relate to their audience and provide them with a 'real' connection to those serving overseas. While some films have proven successful, few have been able to fully capture the events in Iraq, until now.
