Contraband is a light action packed movie for the month of January. I'll give it a B. You have two great actors in this movie playing husband and wife, Mark Wahlberg and Kate Beckinsale (from Underworld). Mark Walhlberg plays a tough guy/family man name Chris Farraday that used to be a smuggler but got out of the game to have a family with Kate Beckinsale character.
(The setting of this movie is in New Orleans) One day, his wife’s little brother messed up a drug-smuggling run and now he owes money to a loose-cannon thug (Giovanni Ribisi) who not only threatens the little brother and his entire family—including Wahlberg’s wife and kid. There no way he can pay the thug back the money. The only thing left - is for Wahlberg's character to do one more run to save his family. The movie is very predictable, you know everything from point A to Z in this film. Overall, it was a pretty good movie. Great actors and a simple plot with some actions.
