Contraband
When you watch this movie you need to be convinced that the bad guys are from another planet because they are so stupid. The story is about John Bryce, Mark Wahlberg, a former smuggler who heads to Panama to score millions of dollars in counterfeit bills. He goes because he needs to protect his brother-in-law and family from a drug lord. Wahlberg gave up drug smuggling to raise a family but due to his wife's brother he gets dragged back in.
The film falls apart when Wahlberg leaves his family right in arms length of the bad guys when he sets sail to Panama. There are twist and turns but the movie is not believable at all.
Verdict:
Mark Whalburg is a very good Executive Producer for shows like Entourage and; Boardwalk Empire. He needs to stick to that and stop trying to be James Cagney. Jeremy Renner already nailed that in the movie The Town.
