Previewed — “Pain & Gain,” Wahlberg and Dwayne J. just want to pump you up

Ex cons, muscleheads, weightlifters. Steroids.

A heist. A heist with consequences.

Michael Bay teams up two muscle-bound funnymen, Dwayne Johnson and Markl Wahlberg, adds Anthony to the team, sets them off after Tony Shaloub’s ill gotten gains, and has them face Ed Harris as a consequence. Funny stuff. Great sight gag, piling the three of them into an ancient Fiero.

“I’ve seen a lotta movies. I know what I’m doing.” Look for “Pain & Gain” April 26.
