Review of Contraband (2012) by Jim H — 26 Jun 2014
Exceptionally well â?? done movie, and this is coming from someone who is absolutely not a fan of the moviemakers' big trend now of "use a handheld camera, turn the iris down and wobble it as much as possible while following the people in the movie to make it more exciting".
The plot is constructed beautifully, and its gradual build towards its suspenseful and keeps the viewer engrossed in every facet of it all the way through. It's one of Wahlberg's best works, and his supporting cast of Ribisi, Foster and Beckinsale are top-notch.
The movie has now spawned a bunch of lesser-quality movies that are just like it, so spare yourself the trouble of going to those and see the original.
