The movie (plus title) were based off a 1999 series of articles printed in the Miami New Times about the "Sun Gym Gang" crime spree in 1994/95 where a bunch of bodybuilders teamed up to torture and extort fortunes out of their victims. Here are the original articles. Must read for true crime buffs. http://www.miaminewtimes.com/specialRepo...y-film-1890864/

I remember reading about these guys years ago. I read the movie had a pretty decent box office over the weekend too. Might have to check this one out.

Maybe his best movie ever, which is sorta a backhanded compliment. Yet I still say its worth seeing. I might do a full review this week.
