OK, maybe I am a little biased, because I am from Austria (hello Rainhard Fendrich...), but I don't get the negative reviews. So I would like to raise the attention to an overlooked point.
This is a horror comedy and I fear that either the dubbed version lost a lot of the funny moments or maybe the sense of this typical Austrians humor wasn't broad enough.
E.g. the drinking scene with the Russian investor: If you know a little bit about the country's history AND the actual consumption of alcohol it is perfectly set up.
So if you don't get the laughs it leaves you with a very simple story and solid handmade SFXs.
For me it's the perfect mix of humor, gore, fun and nice ideas.
I hope for more genre movies (action, thrillers, horror) made in Austria.

I am either pro nor con Michael Bay. I saw some of his movies and rated them as typical Hollywood blockbuster stuff mixed with his over exaggerated style.
For me Pain & Gain is his finest work. This insane story fits perfectly to the simple plot of the movie and Bays "faster, louder, harder" direction.
As you watch the movie you have to decide: Do you still believe it is possible to live the American dream or not? If you still believe it is possible, you may not enjoy the movie, because the 3 main characters are douche bags deluxe. They are convinced to deserve it all. If you work hard your dream doesn't have limits, therefore these guys have either.
If you have a cynical point of view about the American dream: This is your movie. You find all the madness in there: The smart advises, the greed, the lying commercials, the side effects of cocaine and steroids, the lie of working hard and getting back, the false religious callings AND the unhappy ending.
I was surprised by the movie, so give it a chance!

What a movie! I am not particularly interested in the F1 or racing sports; nor did I even knew James Hunt. Niki Lauda as an Austrian bloke I knew. As I toddler I have seen him on TV and described all F1 cars as "Niki Lauda".
With the director, the cast and the trailer I had huge expectations and I wasn't disappointed.
The script is great, the director does a fine job to get you to the edge of the seat as you watch the racing scenes as well as the strong dialogs.
Hunt and Lauda are the most interesting characters since a long, long time. It's refreshing to have heroes not based on a comic! Hemsworth and Brühl do a superb job, Brühl even manages to talk in the viennese dialect of Lauda, which is really really hard(trust me, I am from Vienna and I couldn't do it).
The story is a kind of modern Shakespeare drama, with two actors giving us their best performances as actors so far.
This movie should get a bunch of Oscars (Director, Music, Sound Effects, Hemsworth, Brühl, Script).
Do not miss it on the big screen!
