Pain will gain you a lot of heat this week at the cinema
This week’s movie festival cooks up a feast of crime, thriller and comedy films. Get ready this Friday, as you should not miss these new releases.
Pain & Gain
Releases on August 23. Comedy, Crime, Drama, Thriller.
Based on the true story of Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg), a Miami bodybuilder who wants to live the American dream. He would like to have the money that other people have, so he enlists the help of fellow bodybuilder Adrian Doorbal (Anthony Mackie) and ex-convict, Christian bodybuilder Paul Doyle (Dwayne Johnson).
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.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist
Releases on August 23. Thriller.
A young Pakistani man is chasing corporate success on Wall Street.
He finds himself embroiled in a conflict between his American Dream, a hostage crisis, and the enduring call of his family’s homeland.
The Heat
Releases on August 23. Action, Comedy, Crime.
Uptight FBI special agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is paired with testy Boston cop Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) in order to take down a ruthless drug lord. The hitch: neither woman has ever had a partner — or a friend for that matter.
