Maybe! It's not a very pleasant movie, but I think it's a good expression of Bay's interests, so I respect it. It's all about how the ideas people usually think of as 'Bayhem' - money, men, muscles, cars, models - are actually toxic, vile attempts to cover up for insecurity and need. I think a lot of Bay's work is satire of this stuff.

This line pretty much sums up the film's satire for me:

"If you're willing to do the work, you can have anything. That's what makes the U.S. of A great. When it started, America was just a handful of scrawny colonies. Now, it's the most buff, pumped-up country on the planet. That's pretty rad."
