"This was a fun rewatch. I remembered liking it a long time ago and when I watched it again, i was genuinely surprised that I didn’t remember there being so much gore. And was even more surprised to see that it was based on a true story. 8.5/10 really recommend "

"A groupe of gym rats get together and make a plan to kidnap, extort and torture a man for his fortune things go sideways and the man escapes to the cops but they don't believe his story because of how crazy it is, action packed and crazy situations, based on a true story (7.7/10)"

"Pretty good movie. Don't think it needed to be 2 hours long. And I had now idea when I picked it that it was based on a true story. Hm "

"Massive swing-and-miss. Didn't connect with any of these low-life characters. Rate for any Rock or Wahlberg movie. They're usually better than this. "

"Such a fun movie! I love this formula sm so I’ll always be down for an idiot coming into large amounts of money & doing dumb **** to lose it all. The crimes they committed were an added bonus. This is the best of that formula! Mark Wahlberg played the hell out of this character & I would absolutely love to see him portray someone like Matthew Cox in another feature film like this one. I hate that this was based on a true story bc it made for such a great plot. 😭 like they left sm trails of evidence. How on earth did they ever think they could get away w all that? Lmfao. 🫠"
