Daniel Lugo, manager of the Sun Gym in 1990s Miami, decides that there is only one way to achieve his version of the American dream: extortion.

After several failed attempts, they abduct rich businessman Victor Kershaw and convince him to sign over all his assets to them.

Viewing Notes
Hmm, tough rating for me. 8+ for the superb acting esp. Johnson and Wahlberg and Shalhoub. But just not interested in this story about dumb people doing dumb things. But it’s very well made and looks great. I suppose it’s worth viewing for those reasons but just not the movie for me.
