Travelers has it all: great cast, intelligent writing, a super premise, and lots of dark humor and social statements.
Pain & Gain offers up some stupid bad guys who do some real serious stuff, but the sophomoric writers of this flick thought they'd treat gruesome business tongue-in-cheek. You can't do it, particularly not with an overkill of gratuitous gross jokes, unnecessary nudity, racism, and just plan bad writing. Too many times in the story the characters acted like junior high kids trying to pull off a stunt before the teacher showed up. The scenes weren't all that funny, and made the characters seem cheap, instead of desperate and lethal. Too much pointlessness, which made for a long movie. For movies about stupid bad guys, I prefer "A Simple Plan" (Billy Bob Thorton and Bill Paxton, 1998), and "Fargo" (William H. Macy, Frances McDormand, Steve Buscemi, 1996).
I should have turned off this movie halfway through it.
