Contraband stars Mark Wahlberg,Kate Beckinsale,Ben Foster,and Giovanni Ribisi.
Contraband is about Chris Farraday(Mark Wahlberg) who is married to Kate(Kate Beckinsale) and has two sons.Chris used to be a smuggler for like cars,drugs,and money but then Kate's idiot younger brother throws a bag of drugs on the ocean whom he was supposed to give to Briggs(Giovanni Ribisi) but he finds out and wants it back.So Chris is back on a mission and basicly the film goes from there...
This film has good performances Mark Wahlberg gives it his best,Kate Beckinsale was O.K could've been better,and Giovanni Ribisi wasn't a pretty good villian and not scary especially with his tattoos and gun,he was O.K as well.Everyone else who starred in this pulled of a good performance.
The film had some really bad and good shot scenes i mean some were shaky where i couldn't tell what was going on,while in other scenes the camera was in good place.
If you are a expecting a action film don't be because it only has like one big action scene while everything else is mostly suspenseful.The big action scene was the armored truck where a shootout occurs that was really good and especially really well shot,probably the most entertaining part of the film but everything else was ok as well.
My biggest problem with this film is the dialogue that is spoken,Giovanni Ribisi gets some really bad lines that i felt like laughing no joke.
Overall this film had a lot of flaws it still was pretty entertaining but i recommend don't see this in theaters i stick to a rental but i actually enjoyed it.....so that's why im giving Contraband a 2.5/5 stars.
P.S sorry if i didn't really explain it much because im tired right now and all that but next written review will be better :)
