Similar concept to gone in sixty seconds, I'd get rid of relatives as it clearly does them no good! Good story line and one I'd watch again…

Decently done, just nothing impressive. Doesnt know if it wants to be a B movie or a real heist film…

Plenty of action, but really dumb storyline…

Review of Contraband (2012)

Contraband is a great movie! Mark Wahlberg, Giovanni Ribisi, Ben Foster, Kate Beckinsale and Diego Luna are incredible to watch…

Review of Contraband (2012)

By Craig M (671) on 28 Sep 2014

I'm expecting a decent B Grade movie that stars Wahlberg in it, turns out its just another dark generic action movie…

Rating this a 10 to offset for bad ratings. Movie is exactly what you expect from a mark walhberg action flick…

Review of Contraband (2012)

By Joseph Walsh (276) for CineVue (2,163) on 22 Aug 2018

There are just one too many problems with Kormákur's overly-generic action thriller to separate it from the crowd…

A fun film for film noir fans…

Review of Who'll Stop the Rain (1978)

Had to watch this for a class sometimes. I remember the ending was a let down and the CCR song just randomly plays throughout the film…

By Simon M (879) on 04 Apr 2008

Wheee! I'm not sure which is worse being bored or being bored with some bad acting thrown in for good measure…

The start of the movie is cool and gives hope of an exciting action adventure…
