Its an o.k. two hour time killer. If you like wahlberg thats enough. Far- fetched plot. Keep an open mind and ********** it.

MarkWahlberg could have written this himself as the plot jumps from scene to scene like a wish list of bad ass. Then toss in his wife just to make it... more fun and it cements the deal literally. A 10 year old could have written this plot. No stars! Full Review

Very entertaining! Ribisi over played his character somewhat, but a solid performance by Wahlberg.

Contraband, while often grungy and far-fetched, does keep you watching. And in January, that's recommendation enough.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

It's a genre film, not great art, though there's a good joke about art - a pricey piece of action painting, appropriately enough - but it's a thoroughly satisfying entertainment, and, in this season of lowered expectations, a nice surprise.Full Review

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

Watching it leaves you feeling less buzzed than jittery and slightly nauseated. If the "Ocean's" movies were martinis, Contraband is a thermos full of coffee.Full Review

Michael O'Sullivan
Washington Post

This solid if disposable genre exercise maintains a hard-driving line of action and a commitment to one-damned-thing-after-another storytelling that carries it past any number of narrative speedbumps and preposterous detours.Full Review

Justin Chang
Variety

So super complicated (implausible?) that in the wrong hands it would be laughable. Instead, this very gritty bit of greased action does a decent job of shaking the sluggish out of January.Full Review
