Review of Contraband (2012) by Paul P — 13 Oct 2012
Wahlberg saves this film from being a stinker, that being said it should have been so much better...
The set up has been seen so many times before and the way that this flick plays out does nothing to separate itself from all of the other flicks that have covered the same ground. The cast is pretty good but they are not being called upon to do anything stretching - This would be DTV in the hands. Of a lesser cast.Wahlberg does a good job playing the ex crim everyman and his presence alone makes this watchable.
Its a pity that the story is so predictable as this could have been so much better.....
