Their kidnapping and extortion scheme goes terribly wrong since they have muscles for brains and they're left to haphazardly try to hold onto the elusive American dream. Action Comedy Crime Drama.

Several topless women are seen in a club scene. The main character has comical sex with a woman against the back of a car no nudity shown. A character's stripper girlfriend is portrayed as kinky. A character tries to masturbate under his clothes to a porn tape nothing graphic shown. Women are generally treated as dumb sex objects, shown in tight exercise outfits.
Lots of skimpy outfits both male and female in gym scenes. A character struggles with impotence as a result of the steroids he takes. A T-shirt with the Penthouse magazine logo is shown.
Language is extremely strong and nearly constant. Words include "f--k," "s--t," "py," "c--k," "c--t," "d--k," "balls," "ass," "a--hole," "bitch," "t-tty," "hell," "damn," "goddamn," "crap," "vagina," "penis," "homo," "Jesus Christ" as an exclamation , "oh my God," "whore," "slut," "turd," and more. Some disparaging remarks based on race. Characters shop at a Home Depot, twice.
A character wears a Nike tank top. The Penthouse logo appears on a shirt. One of the main characters is a recovering cocaine addict who relapses and starts snorting cocaine again. His problem is treated comically. Characters inject steroids at the gym to build bigger muscles. The main characters kidnap a man and force him to drink alcohol. Characters also occasionally drink wine and smoke cigars. The movie -- which was inspired by a real-life kidnapping, extortion, and murder -- is filled with shooting, chasing, fighting, and blood, as well as more gruesome, torturous images like barbecuing severed hands to remove the fingerprints.
Sexuality is also prevalent in the movie; there's some female toplessness and comical sex, and women are treated as dumb sex objects. One character is a drug addict who tries to recover but fails; he's shown snorting cocaine, with results that are played for humor. Language is extremely strong and frequent, with constant use of "f--k," "s--t," and more. The fact that these greedy characters and their illegal, brutal plans are treated with humor makes this movie very iffy for just about any audience.

His plan is to kidnap a wealthy delicatessen owner Tony Shalhoub and get him to sign over his fortune. After some initial success, their plan goes desperately wrong, and all their brain-dead attempts to recover it result in disaster after disaster.
The plot is based on a true story. Michael Bay , best known for his loud, explosive action movies, takes a step back with this relatively cheaper film, concentrating on fewer special effects and more characters. Unfortunately, this is like watching a chef doing the dishes; it's not his strong suit.
Movies about dumb criminals can be highly entertaining Fargo , for example , but Bay sends his story spinning wildly over the top. His characters are aggravatingly idiotic, the mood is belligerent, and the pacing is erratic. But worst of all is the humor. Bay may be the least funny director alive, and he insists on using an endless array of cruel, horrible jokes -- about fat people, drug addicts, women in general, and just about everyone else. Only Ed Harris , playing a private detective, provides any dignity.
How is it depicted? Is it gross? Does it seem over-the-top or inappropriate? How does the movie portray women? Are they judged by their body type? Are there any positive female role models here?
How does the movie view male body image? Is it positive or negative? There are strong visual and verbal sex references, including a man finding himself in a warehouse full of sex toys. The warehouse contains inflatable sex dolls, huge dildos, and a fake rubber vagina. In another scene, a policeman holds up two evidence bags containing the charred remains of what he describes as 'One very large burnt dildo. Extra large anal beads, found in the back of your car'.
