Chris Farraday (Wahlberg) long ago abandoned his life of crime, but after his brother-in-law, Andy (Caleb Landry Jones), botches a drug deal for his ruthless boss, Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), Chris is forced back into doing what he does best - running contraband - to settle Andy’s debt.
#MARK WAHLBERG CONTRABAND FULL#
Set in New Orleans, the film explores the cutthroat underground world of international smuggling - full of desperate criminals and corrupt officials, high-stakes and big payoffs - where loyalty rarely exists and death is one wrong turn away. Mark Wahlberg leads the cast of Contraband, a fast-paced thriller about a man trying to stay out of a world he worked so hard to leave behind and the family he’ll do anything to protect. Check out he trailer below via Yahoo and more images below. Overall, this looks like your run-of-the-mill January thriller. At least it seems to be a main device in Contraband. Also, when will scenes in shipping docks end? We’ve had The Losers, The A-Team and Hanna all in the last few years. The latter three look like they’re having fun, but the entire plot seems quite recycled and generic. And those are just in the first few months.īased on the film Reykjavik: Rotterdam, Contraband stars Mark Wahlberg, Kate Beckinsale, Ben Foster, Giovanni Ribisi and Lukas Haas.

The film is showing in a theater with those action moving seats but it isn't 3D so you save a couple of bucks. Maybe New Orleans, but then Mardi Gras is almost over now. Competent cast, good photography but it isn't likely to send you off as a tourist to Panama.
#MARK WAHLBERG CONTRABAND MOVIE#
This is pretty standard stuff for the January movie doldrums and there aren't a lot of thrills here and little in the way of surprises. Wahlberg is sufficiently macho to get through the role but it's time for him to move out of the genre where he hangs around the local bar with old pals.ĭirector Baltasar Kormakur helmed the film with lots of aerials of New Orleans and Panama and has redone a movie he did before as star in Europe. Ribisi is a good bad guy and Kate Beckinsale is required to do little more than hustle her sons around and get beaned and almost buried in cement (what a waste of a decent actress!). The plot is modestly complex, the script at times makes sense and the vision of a freighter crashing into a dock is about as interesting as anything else in the movie. How he gets the Panama printer to turn over bogus money isn't quite clear but it involves Chris and Co. So Chris rounds up his old gang, joins the crew of a ship headed for Panama and goes through the usual gadgetry of preparing the ship for big bundles of phony money. This is an old Hollywood plot line, the former crook gone straight but dragged back into the business.
