I was expecting the worst because of the "Michael Bay stigma" but actually it was good! When it got to the end I was surprised by how much I had enjoyed it.
I knew that it was based on a true story but I didn't knew that it was that story! This unbelievable true story, is horrible and brutal and turning it into a satire probably wasn't the greatest thing in the world but the truth is that it worked well. I'm sure that the families of the innocent victims are not very happy with the whole comedy concept but I guess the film does not try to glorify those three stupid and absolutely horrible idiots but making fun of them and also shows how that pursuit for "the american dream" can be so ridiculous that people are capable to do things that we can't even imagine. But I can understand why many say that it's disrespectful.
The acting was very good by all of the actors (although I think Mark Walhberg does the same kind of acting in all of the films) but Dwayne Johnson continues to amaze me! I think he is improving a lot as an actor and he had the best character and best performance of this film.
Definitely not what I expected, in a good way!
