In between scenes of the muscleheads torturing their victim, Bay indulges his taste for treating women as sluts and grisly brutality as a nifty excuse for a cheap laugh.

Pain & Gain weighs about 700 pounds when it ought to weigh 2.
Wesley Morris, Grantland
Fresh
The first hour may be Bay's career high point: it's fast, freaky, gloriously tasteless and startlingly pointed in its attacks on western insecurity, shallowness and greed.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Fresh
Now [Bay] hits new levels of both artistry and sleaziness in the black comedy Pain & Gain, which I strongly recommend if you don't overvalue taste, subtlety, and moral decency. I liked it.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
This crude and ugly entertainment is as crass as everything this depressingly successful filmmaker has done.
