Not a perfect movie, but a better one than you might ever hope to see Burt Reynolds in. He's actually better than Jon Voight in this (in my opinion).
Unlike many movies from the '70s, this one ages well. The supporting cast is excellent. And (almost) all of the stunts were done by the actors.
Not for the faint of heart - it gets a bit nasty.Not a perfect movie, but a better one than you might ever hope to see Burt Reynolds in. He's actually better than Jon Voight in this (in my opinion).

Thought I'd give this a try as I like Chris Langham (if I ignore his, uh, legal issues). Not wildly entertaining, but quietly funny, mildly dark, and very well acted.

I didn't have a lot of hope for Pain & Gain, having subjected myself to a few other movies with Dwayne Johnson in (ditto Michael Bay), but was pleasantly surprised that it was engaging and mildly funny, and not unintelligent (sorry for the double negative). A bit long, but worth a watch if you don't mind a little blood.I didn't have a lot of hope for Pain & Gain, having subjected myself to a few other movies with Dwayne Johnson in (ditto Michael Bay), but was pleasantly surprised that it was engaging and mildly funny, and not unintelligent (sorry for the double…

Oh. Dear. I thought Guillermo del T would add something something slightly oblique to this. He didn't.
Smash, bash.

Disclosure: I saw the theatrical version, not the longer Director's Cut.
I loved this movie, although there are many reasons why not to. Even the theatrical version had too many long lingering shots which added nothing, not even atmosphere. And I wanted to strangle the leads from time to time.
But...I think that was part of what the director wanted to achieve, because I valued the complexities of the characters and was given lots of opportunities to wonder to myself what the heck was going through their minds at various junctures.
The defining 'event' at the beginning of the movie was overwhelmingly powerful. And parents of teens...you may recognise a lot of the dynamics.
Anyway - if you're worried about the bad reviews here on SPL watch the theatrical version!Disclosure: I saw the theatrical version, not the longer Director's Cut.

Comment:
The Thick of It is a brilliant piece of clever British comedy combining a highbrow concept with lots and lots of swearing. If you have problems with swearing, you should probably give this a pass. If you have no interest in politics (indeed, British politics) you should probably give this a pass. If you shudder at the thought of all manner of humanity being belittled and shouted at by possibly the most inventive and caustic Scotsman in TV history, you should probably give this a pass. Everybody else: take a chance.The Thick of It is a brilliant piece of clever British comedy combining a highbrow concept with lots and lots of swearing.
