Pain and Gain is an upcoming film based on true events, due out for release next month starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson.  The film follows Daniel Lugo (Wahlberg) a regular bodybuilder who is fed up with his life and decides to do something about it.

With the help of ex-con Paul Doyle (Johnson) and his friend Adrian DoorBal (Anthony Mackie) they plan to kidnap Victor Kerhsaw, portrayed by Tony Shalhoub.  Kershaw is a regular at the gym in which Lugo works and is a rich, spoiled man who they plan on kidnapping and torturing so he will sign over all his finances.

Things start to wrong for the men, known as the ‘Sun Gym Gang’ when Kershaw survives the gangs attempted murder and he hires Detective Ed Du Bois (Ed Harris) to track down the gang.

The film looks really good and with it based on true events it seems to have a good story.  The first thing you notice from the trailer is the size of both Wahlberg and Johnston who are both huge in the film.

The film is directed by Michael Bay and has a strong cast of actors who are on a roll as of late.  Pain and Gain is based on the magazine articles of the same name by Steve Collins and, the film is due for release on April 26.
