When it was announced that Michael Bay was directing a movie with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson, we were sure it was going to be another huge, over the top, large-scale action movie, which we weren't too keen on. However, it turned out that Michael was going for something different.

Michael Bay instead directed the action comedy movie Pain & Gain, which stars Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg in the lead roles. From what we have seen of Pain & Gain so far, it looks like it is going to be a great ride and we cannot wait for the movie to open on the big screen.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the movie, Pain & Gain is based on a true story and centres around a couple of bodybuilder's, played by Wahlberg and Johnson. The two men make a find themselves involved in a kidnap and extortion ring, which all goes very wrong.
