good 'documentary'... not 'funny movie'
28 April 2013 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

I found the trailer a little miss leading. It makes it look kind of like a comedy. If you go into this thinking it will be a funny movie you'll be disappointed. Almost all the funny parts are in the trailer, and they're presented a little out of context. The movie was good, but not what I was expecting. I thought this was going to be a movie more about a bunch of beef-heads that try to pull a scam and don't really succeed. I was wrong, but I hadn't researched the true story first, so went in to the movie just based on seeing the trailer and liking the actors. It's crazy that this is based on a true story, some of the things they do are pretty brutal. The acting was good, Mark Walburg and Dwayne Johnson both do a good job portraying the characters. I wouldn't recommend bringing kids to see this, at all. It's definitely not a "family friendly movie with The Rock" I think the key to watching this movie is to think of it more as a 'documentary' (not just another funny movie with Dwayne Johnson) If I had gone into it thinking of it like a documentary I probably would have enjoyed it more.
