Contraband
Chris Farraday was a former smuggler who left all his crimes. Now Chris seems to be going back to those crimes again when his son-in-law made a big deal of cocaine with a big fugitive, Giovanni Ribesi. Chris is on a strong mission where he faces his fate with the help of his friend Ben Foster. Chris has assembled an entire team of helpers to go to Panama to recover the counterfeit invoices. Chris seems determined to use his past skills and superstitious abilities to finish his mission before his family pays the price.

Contraband is a decent action film but none of the cast can do anything to elevate the material beyond what it is: a January movie from top to bottom.

A winter-season product, but perfectly absorbing once it gets going.

Frankly, Wahlberg has outgrown movies like this. And so have we.

Plays like conventional Hollywood genre entertainment even though all the actual events in movie feel like they belong in a Michael Mann joint.

We are left to ponder why Andy is any less culpable or any more worth saving than anyone else.

The result is unlikely to linger long in the memory, but it's enormous fun while it lasts...

It's a good, chugging caper movie for the most part.

It may not exactly be an original story, but when a little effort is put into a film like this, it can be done pretty well.

Wahlberg delivers in this sometimes tense, enjoyable, but morally muddy heist thriller.

"Contraband" comes off the factory floor with its engine running and ready to drive. But the ride feels overly familiar.

With its dim lighting and handheld camerawork, the director's 'realistic' visual approach is arguably bogus, but it pays dividends as the narrative becomes increasingly grim.

Wahlberg could sleepwalk through this role, and does. See this movie and you'll surely follow his lead.
