First trailer for Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain

Michael Bay has released the first trailer for his latest non-transforming robots film Pain & Gain. Made for a much more modest $22m this could be a return to Bad Boys form for the mega-action director.

The movie is based on a true story, and follows two bodybuilders who get caught up in an extortion ring and kidnapping scheme that goes terribly wrong.

Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson provide the muscle, with support from Anthony Mackie, Rob Corddry, Ed Harris, John Turturro, and Rebel Wilson.

Pain & Gain opens in Ireland on August 28th, 2013.
