Though it never quite has us by the lapels, the film is a solid, workmanlike action flick. Simmons and Diego Luna ( Y tu mama tambien) show up in effective cameos.Ĭontraband also has a good, churning rhythm-and-blues soundtrack, withĬrawling King Snake John Lee Hooker's hoodoo voice creeping out of theatre speakers. Mark's older brother, Robert Wahlberg, is properly haunting as a morose Irish Terminator. Ribisi connects as the sadistic drug kingpin, dawdling on his line readings with an elastic Southern drawl, as if he researched his role watching Strother Martin bully prison gang crews inĬool Hand Luke.

He's off to Central America, running counterfeit money out of Panama.īut then our hero makes his mistake, advising wife, Kate (Kate Beckinsale), "Nothing is going to go wrong, I promise." This is it – the last job.
Chris's crime comeback appears to be going well, too. Mission: Impossible, it's fun seeing a relaxed, confident action star go about his business. And after watching Tom Cruise make heroism look like torture in the latest Wahlberg's character clearly enjoys getting back in the game. "Have you ever been convicted of espionage, sedition or treason?" a bored law official asks him early on his final misadventure. He's also one cocky little Irish rooster, with a crew as tight as his T-shirts.
