    It's not great by any means, but it's decent enough for a rental. Not much to say about this really other than I want to go to Panama someday.

    Classic set up of ex con having to return to crime after a mishap. It usually involves someone in the family or friend that gets in trouble. In this case, it's the protagonists wife's brother who gets involved in some shit. There are some twists, some highly improbable moments wh... read moreere you have to suspend your disbelief, but it's entertaining enough even though it's a very dumb film. Not bad, but not great either.

    Mark wahlberg phones in the ex-con, one-last-job performance in this interesting but not overly thrilling thriller where a very talented cast work overtime trying to lift the standard of this by-the-numbers script about drug smuggling, families hostage, race against time, 'where'... read mores the cash?' mumbo jumbo.

    ["Contraband" comes off the factory floor with its engine running and ready to drive. But the ride feels overly familiar. - Tom Long, Detroit News]

    An engrossing thriller which also tries to answer the meaning of friendship and family on a sidenote. It could have been a boring movie if not for the existence of Mark Wahlberg and Kate Beckinsale, who share a star power to raise the movie's status.

    Not bad for a remake of a remake...And make no mistake, this is a remake of two earlier movies, one made before I was born in 1940 and the most recent remake in 1980. This version had a good pace and not too shabby acting. It also had a strong and well known cast. I'm a huge K... read moreate Beckinsale fan and I found myself getting pissed when I thought she was dead (Ooops spoiler alert) killed by his best friend. Anway, I wanted to see it and I did...And it didn't disappoint me too terribly.
