This is a true story about a sadistic gang of violent sociopaths who imprison, torture and murder several innocent people that had known and trusted them. What is most vile is that it is told as a comedy. It is not funny. It simply leaves a bitter taste in the back of your mouth. The only good thing that I got out of this was finally realising that Mark Wahlberg is an unscrupulous actor and not Matt Damon's dark alter ego.

I expected more looking at the actors, even lowering my expectations due to it being based on a true story. Sad that this was done as a comedy with innocent people being tortured & killed just because some arses decided to take what the others had earned.

A story about 3 stupid guys who thought that they deserve other people's success. I expected more from the movie probably because of the main actors. All in all, watching this is a wasting of time.
