Entertainment Reviews:
This is an uncommonly well-crafted action adventure...
Wall Street Journal
[I]nvolving, atmospherically grungy....The camerawork remains alert and alive to the alarming events that punctuate the characters' lives with all-too-frequent regularity.

Rating: 6/10 --
The movie isn't awful. There are twists and action and some clever extrications from sticky situations. I guess if I had to come up with a word to describe it, it would be generic.

[A] thick-cut, crusts-left-on smuggling thriller directed by the Icelandic filmmaker Baltasar Kormákur.

[Contraband] moves along nicely, assisted by the inclusion of real bad guys, nasty enough to provide a decent level of jeopardy and the easy, cheeky camaraderie between Wahlberg and his gang.

Hang tight, action fans. Because once that assignment begins, so does a quite enjoyable mash-up of Tower Heist, Ocean's Eleven and The Italian Job.

There are just one too many problems with Kormákur's overly-generic action thriller to separate it from the crowd.

Product Description:
A former smuggler from New Orleans faces ruthless drug lords, vicious criminals, corrupt officials, and trigger-happy hit men after getting back into the business to help his brother-in-law settle a deadly debt. When it came to transporting illicit goods under treacherous circumstances, Chris Farraday (Mark Wahlberg) used to be the best in the business. But all of that changed when he chose to give up his life of crime to start a family with Kate (Kate Beckinsale). Chris learns that leaving his past behind is easier said than done, however, after Kate's brother Andy (Caleb Landry Jones) goes to work for ferocious drug lord Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), and drops the ball on a major deal. Now, in order to set things right, Chris must smuggle millions of dollars in counterfeit bills from Panama into the United States. And if anything goes wrong, Tim will target his entire family for death. With his best friend Sebastian (Ben Foster) by his side and a crackerjack crew along for the ride, Chris heads to Panama for one last job. Later, with time running out and a treacherous maze of desperate criminals to navigate, the job gets complicated, and Chris must race to reach his family before Tim gets to them first. Lukas Haas, Diego Luna, and J.K. Simmons co-star.
