Cert: 15A cert, but due to the content of the film, I would say 18 cert
Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: A man puts a pornographic DVD into a player (we do not see it) and picks up a jar of Vaseline, the camera cuts to him sitting on a sofa, one hand in his pants and appearing to masturbate until he stops and says, "My thing don't work"; he visits a clinic for erectile dysfunction (please see the Substance Use category for more details) and a female medical assistant flirts by batting her eyes and smiling at him and after the man receives an injection, the woman says that his genitals are not as big as what she is used to, but they will do and she accompanies him home where the camera cuts to a bedroom scene where she sits astride his pelvis while wearing a leopard print slip (we see significant cleavage and partial thighs) and moves up and down; bouncing violently underneath her the man is shirtless and wearing long pajama bottoms.
Both clothed, a man has sex with a woman who is bent forward over the trunk of a car; the car moves forward and stops against a van and the woman pulls down her skirt, briefly flashing white panties.
In three dimly lit bar scenes we see eight women wearing string bikinis and dancing around poles, writhing and revealing nude bodies, except for genital areas; one woman pulls down her bikini top and swings around a pole with full breasts bared in a close-up.

An elderly priest touches a young man's chest in what appears to be a sexual manner and the younger man punches the priest to get away.
A woman wearing a yellow string bikini under a white net body suit sits down astride a man sitting in a chair, slaps her own buttocks and says that she needs a spanking; he seems disinterested in her and the scene ends (sex is not implied).
A husband opens his shirt, and he and his wife embrace and roll across the lawn of their home.
There are several conversations are about sex: a man says that he loves to suck milk out of pregnant women's breasts; a woman says a man "finger-banged" her and another woman says that she was banging a man for several weeks; a man says that he got a divorce and picked up seven honeys (women) to have sex with; another man says that an old man went away on a sex vacation; and a kidnapped man uses crude sexual declarations about a criminal's wife.
Two police detectives ask a beating victim in the hospital if his injuries are sex-related, because he smelled of booze on admission (please see the Substance Use category for more details), and because his car contained sex aids; the victim denies this.
We hear that a man buys his girlfriends breast implants. They are later seen as evidence.

We hear that a woman is a former beauty queen whose dream is to become like Marilyn Monroe, with that star's sexuality and fame. In a self-defense demonstration with a woman, the men in the audience are asked, "Who wants to volunteer to be a rapist?" and all their hands go up; all the wives make the men leave. One man mentions grabbing the girl's bottom.
In two warehouse scenes, we see several wall displays full of sexual apparatus: in racks on the floor, we see inflated rubber dolls with male and female genitals, along with several sets of rubber female genitals and buttocks that quiver when a man taps and slaps them; a man picks up two glowing sex aids, hits the on switches and we see them rotate in the air with flashing lights covering them.
In the background of a scene, we see a large billboard that says, "Use a Condom" in huge letters, and features a long row of coloured yet indistinct condoms.
Violence & Gore: Three men put a plastic bag over a man's head, hang him from a ceiling conveyor by chains, duct tape him to a chair, punch him, knock him over, beat him with large leather sex aids, burn his hand in a machine press, tape his eyes shut, tape sanitary pads to his eyes, kick him, force him to accept Jesus (he is Jewish), and finally put him into a car; the three men run the car into a backhoe while jumping out of the car (the prisoner survives the crash), they douse the car with gasoline, light it and flames leap up several stories tall, but the man inside stumbles out of the car with a sweater sleeve on fire, which he puts out; the three men knock him down and then run a van over him twice; we see a tire begin to roll over his face but the van drives away leaving the man alive, but with a bloody face (in the hospital, he is shown with a cast on one arm and one leg). Most of this is done in a comical way, with the victim being snide and sarcastic to his attackers.

Two bodybuilders buy equipment, barrels and supplies and transport two dead bodies to a warehouse where they cut them up with a chainsaw (we do not see the cuts, but hear the saw and see some blood later); the bodybuilders then pack body parts in barrels with lye while the third partner cooks severed hands on a patio grill to destroy fingerprints; the barrels are transported and rolled into a river, one of the bodybuilders is shown scrubbing the white carpet and cutting out bloodstains with his knife and when the men return a defective chainsaw to the store, a drop of blood hits the counter in slow motion (it goes unnoticed).
In a flashback, a prisoner says that he has accepted Jesus as his Savior and that he used physical strength in fistfights with other prisoners in order to witness to them about the Lord; the prisoner punches and kicks men and throws a free-weight disk into a man's throat, knocking him out.

Frightening/Intense Scenes: The movie is inspired by a real-life kidnapping, extortion, and murder is filled with shooting, chasing, fighting and blood.
Gruesome, torturous images like barbecuing severed hands to remove the fingerprints are seen, but are also shown in a comical way.
Story: Based on the true story of Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg) a Miami bodybuilder who wants to live the American dream. He would like to have the money that other people have. So he enlists the help of fellow bodybuilder Adrian Doorbal (Anthony Mackie) and ex-convict, Christian bodybuilder Paul Doyle (Dwayne Johnson). Their kidnapping and extortion scheme goes terribly wrong since they have muscles for brains and they're left to haphazardly try to hold onto the elusive American dream
Likes : This was quiet the funny but interest story in a true story film, three dumb idiots thinking they could get away with what they did just to get ahead in the world which ended up in deadly consequence for them. It was funny in place but this is a serious type of film, that really did happen in real life back in the 80s, of three guys trying to get ahead in life but what they decide to do was the wrong way of going about it & thing just spiral out of control.
Mark Walberg ,Dwayne Johnson & Anthony Mackie plays these role brilliantly with some of the funniest scene's & serious scene's in this film, they really do play the character right down to the real people Daniel Lugo (mark Walberg) , Paul Doyle (Dwayne Johnson), Adrian Doorbal (Anthonty Mackie).
This is what crime drama's are all about true story's, murder, drug's & cops, its was a very brave film to make of three people who did something seriously wrong but it show that crime doesn't pay that is the clear message in this film. I will say this is a film worth watching because it brilliantly done to tell a story of a big crime from the 80s, the ending will surprise you to what happened to them after this crime happened but it quiet an enlighten truth behind the social pressure of the 80s business world try to make something of yourself. If your into crime drama's depending on what your into this film is worth watching.
Dislikes : The only thing I would say is don't try this, because you will suffer the consequence of your action's & looking at some states I would seriously think before you even think of doing something as stupid as this.
Overall : Funny moments, Brilliant acting, a worth watching film.
Rating: 4.1 out of 5 for true story/ 7.6 out of 10 for entertainment
