Review

michael bay’s version of a true crime story about a few idiot body-builders who decide to extract wealth from a couple rich people. it’s a story about the american dream as realized by some fairly average american people. they range in intelligence from average to below average, they think they’re hard workers, they have very little self-perspective. they think the world owes them something. it’s a nice looking film about the sordid underbelly of society. a very american film in these ways.
