----------------------------------------
"It all leaves you pondering whether you have just seen a monumentally stupid movie or a brilliant movie about the nature and consequences of stupidity" (A. O. Scott: The New York Times) ----------------------------------------
"Bay can be a master of exuberant chaos, but here the violence mostly lands with a sickening thud, which is fitting, one supposes, but also ultimately numbing" (Scott Foundas: Variety) ----------------------------------------
"With 'Pain & Gain', his surprising true-crime comedy, Bay has finally decided to lighten up a bit" (Chris Nashawaty: Entertainment Weekly) ----------------------------------------
"As ambitious and vibrant as it is ugly and scattershot, 'Pain & Gain' is the most charming Michael Bay movie in a long while (...) rating: **1/2 (out of four)" (Simon Abrams: Chicago Sun-Times) ----------------------------------------
"The story is told in a hammer-on-anvil manner that evinces no gift for social satire or sharp cultural insight" (Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter) ----------------------------------------
"It's Bay World. And after an hour of 'Pain & Gain', it felt more like 'Pain & Pain' (...) Rating: * (out of four)" (Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune) ----------------------------------------
