I didn't know what to expect from Contraband. It had a brief residence before in theaters before promptly disappearing, even for a January release. It's actually a good movie though. It has a simple story, a smart, resourceful lead and some insights into the business of smuggling.
Squanders a possibly interesting-enough idea with a yawn-inducing script, alternatingly bland and hammy performances, and some simply weird directing choices. Marky Mark's character is how not to do an anti-hero: he's nothing more than an idiot punk who puts the lives of everyone he claims to love in danger and
Utter tripe with little to commend. Also features two of the most boring actors around. Wahlberg and Beckinsale. Seriously, was there anyone to like in this film?

It didn't bore me, but that's about as positive a comment I could give regarding this movie.Musanna
Too convoluted and Giovanni Ribsi in character is a contender for the most annoying character on screen this year.MrDoog

Very marginal movie with major plotholes, weak unappealling characters and just boring at times.xwizex

Good story, but Wahlberg's character just didn't seem right. Too damn lucky if you ask me.LostOverThere
