20 Shamefully Bad Movies From Brilliant Actors

2. Pain & Gain - Mark Wahlberg

Pain And Gain
Paramount Pictures

An indie Michael Bay movie starring Mark Wahlberg and The Rock about a bunch of bodybuilders turned killers and kidnappers sounds interesting (and it did have its fans).

But the result was a gaudy, shambolic and tasteless assault on all decency that will leave you appalled. It's so bad, it makes Mark Wahlberg's decision to do The Happening look inspired.

Rotten to the core, it seems to endorse the very things its trying to critique.
