Pain & Gain

The film primarily elicits strong Humor from its dark, satirical take on the 'American dream' gone wrong, driven by the protagonists' 'muscles for brains' incompetence. This is balanced by significant Anxiety and Excitement from the escalating action and botched criminal schemes. Underlying these are feelings of Disturbing and Anger, stemming from the true-crime elements and the characters' casual cruelty and stupidity.
