Bay's 'Pain and Gain' shows unexpected flair LANDON MCDONALD imcdonald@kansan.com Desperate for a taste of the good life and brainwashed by an aphorism-spewing self-help guru (Ken Jeong), Lugo recruits fellow gym rat Adrian (Anthony Mackie) and huking ex-con Paul Question: What happens when Michael Bay foregoes almost everything that makes him the eyeball-straining, intellect-draining king of summer blockbusters: his nine-figure budgets, his penchant for non-stop explosions, his borderline incomprehensible editing style and his inexplicable affinity for Shia Labeouf and leghumping robots? Answer: He turns around and makes his best movie since 1996's "The Rock." Like the unholy spawn of "Scarface" and "Magic Mike", Bay's new comedy "Pain and Gain" is a visceral sleazoid delight, a story defined by madcap absurdities that seem all the more potent given their purported basis in fact (Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely's screenplay was adapted from a series of Miami New Times articles). The year is 1994 and the American Dream seems to have turned its star-spangled backside on Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg), a bodybuilder who's been reduced to working as a personal trainer at Miami's Sun Gym. Lugo's least favorite client is the half-jewish, half-Colombian Victor Kershaw (Tony Shalhoub); a vulgar local businessman who spends their workout sessions bragging about his offshore holdings while insisting that salad was invented by poor people. (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) for a harebrained scheme to kidnap Kershaw and divvy up his massive, possibly ill-gotten fortune. Of course, their plans quickly devolve into a succession of progressively violent blunders that earn them the attention of Detective Ed DuBois (Ed Harris, reliable as always), and eventually the entire state of Florida. Although the real-life saga of the so-called Sun Gym Gang culminated in the murder and dismemberment of two innocent people, "Pain and Gain" plays the whole bloody affair strictly for laughs. The story unfolds like a low-rent version of a Coen Brothers crime caper as directed by the late Tony Scott, minus the acerbic wit of the former and the show-stopping visual panache of the latter. This is still a Michael Bay joint after all, replete with enough casual racism, blatant homophobia and gratuitous slow motion to fill three more "Transformers" sequels (don't worry, there's more of those on the way). The reason "Pain and Gain" outclasses most of Bay's recent output has a great deal to do with the nerve and verve of its central performances. Wahlberg in fulltilt "Boogie Nights" mode here, playing a character whose drive to succeed in life has mutated into a raging steroidal version of Manifest Destiny. Johnson, who tempered his weapons-grade charisma with newfound dramatic range earlier this year in "Snitch," practically walks away with the movie as Paul, a born-again lunkhead with a titanically unresolved SUDOKU As the bodies pile up and the authorities close in on our increasingly antagonistic protagonists, the film struggles to decide whether it's a wry send-up of consumer culture or an endorsement of the American Dream as the ultimate performance enhancer. It never quite manages to make up its mind, ending with a jarring tonal shift that feels somewhat disingenuous in light of all the consequence-free Bay-hem that's preceded it. Yet for most of its runtime, "Pain and Gain" excels at showing us exactly what its director is capable of when he's free from the constraints of making $200 million toy commercials. Difficulty Level ★ As is often the case with Bay, the supporting cast here is ridiculously over-qualified. Rebel Wilson, fresh off last year's box office hit "Pitch Perfect," brings some much-needed girl power to the underwritten role of Adrian's nurse-turned-wife, while Shalhoub calls on every nasty epithet he can muster to make Kershaw the world's least sympathetic extortion victim. Harris, a Bay veteran since "The Rock," is obviously meant to serve as this movie's answer to Marge Gunderson, the Frances McDormand character from "Fargo," the honest cop who surveys the carnage and laments its futility. 8 | 9 | 6 | 7 | 3 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 3 | 8 | 5 | 4 | | 2 | 2 | 6 | 1 | | 7 | 2 | 9 | 1 | | 3 | 2 | 9 | 1 | | 4 | 2 | 9 Edited by Brian Sisk 4/29 All major appliances | Laundry facility on site bus routes | Close to Campus & Downtown On-site management | Pet friendly | Poor Security and early bird deposit specials No application fee Call today to schedule a tour!
