what a load of unrealistic crap. Who wrote this drivel? Its hard to believe the same actor who played in departed would stoop to this

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

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

Contraband has a few moments of tension, but it adheres to a predictable heist formula hardly worth trafficking in. Full Review

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

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

The absurdity of the story in the largely thrill-free thriller Contraband, its hairpin twists and outrageous coincidences, may keep even hungry action fans away. That's too bad because the story doesn't matter. (It rarely does.) Full Review
