Contraband Movie Review: Mark Wahlberg Powers This Action Thriller
- Mark Wahlberg
. If you’re a fan of his tough-but-sympathetic screen presence, you’ll enjoy this film. Wahlberg brings a compelling intensity to the role, playing a good man who’s forced to do bad things to protect his family. It’s a classic anti-hero narrative, and Wahlberg handles it with his usual gritty charisma.
- Giovanni Ribisi: Though he's not the most intimidating bad guy you’ll ever see, Ribisi delivers a solid performance, bringing just enough wild unpredictability to his character to make things interesting.
- Formulaic Storytelling: The plot is formulaic, and without its star power, it might’ve faded into the crowd of generic action flicks.
- Kate Beckinsale: Beckinsale is far too good of an actress to play such a merely functional role in Contraband.
