6. Pain And Gain Is Michael Bay's Best-Reviewed Movie
To be fair, Michael Bay has set himself a pretty damn low bar to clear here, given that he's one of the most reviled mainstream Hollywood filmmakers, and only one of his films has ever wound up Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes - 1996's The Rock, which scraped a modest 67%. Bay's films obviously aren't designed with pandering to critics in mind, but his latest film, Pain and Gain, looks promising enough, with its mixture of high-octane thrills and surprisingly smart gags that it might actually cause critics to (at least temporarily) re-evaluate the filmmaker. With two great actors at the helm - Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg - who should play off one another extremely well, this has the chance to become Bay's cult hit, even if there's no chance it's going to make the mad money of his Transformers films.
