评分和评价

The acting by all three actors: Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Jonhson, and Anthony Mackie is substantial and notable; the filmic techniques and Bay's use of camera shots is are also done superbly. But the guts and the so called "true story," is not entirely true. For someone who is knowledgeable on this crime they will be able to pick the film to pieces, such as the equipment the FBI officers use, is way too out of time (10 years ahead of their time) and the criminals themselves, are not in fact funny likeable guys as all three actors portray them. Daniel Lugo, Adrian Doorbal, and the many composite characters Dwayne Johnson plays, are all cold hearted, sadist (Doorbal), mean S.O.B'. The lack of truth in the film is what really let the film down for me. I like my film to have realism, not Hollywood malarkey. Overall however the film was a good watch and it had a satisfying ending. It's a good film, but not a proper documentation of the Sun Gym Gang however as Bay tries to portray it.

This is what happened when somebody actually put some effort in their movies, they churn out the good stuff. Though I felt that the portrayal of the trio are questionable, I am genuinely surprised to see the event being represented accurately, eventhough the execution is a little goofy.
