Contraband

Action, Drama
4 stars
Violent action thriller starring Mark Wahlberg as a former smuggler who must now help out his brother-in-law (Caleb Landry Jones) after he dumps some drugs in the ocean and the drug dealers want the cash value. Giovani Ribisi plays the bad guy, as usual, with great intensity. Kate Beckinsale plays Wahlberg’s wife who is also in danger if he can’t come up with the money. Jim loved it. These violent action movies aren’t my thing, but the acting was good and the story seemed somewhat plausible. A definite “guy movie”.
