Contraband 2012

Contraband (2012)     Chris is a former smuggler in New Orleans but he's out of the business and has his own alarm installation business.  He also has a wife and two boys.  His wife's brother smuggles cocaine on a ship but dumps the cargo in the water when investigators come about the vessel.  Briggs is a drug dealer and he's behind this deal, he demands restitution and he doesn't care who delivers.  Chris gets on a freighter destined for Panama where he will obtain counterfeit currency.
     There are some errors in this movie, if you know someone who has sailed to Panama and back, they can point them out.  Everyone seems so tough but are they really?  This does have some exciting moments.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

109 min, Action directed by Baltasar Kormakur with Mark Wahlberg, Giovanni Ribisi, Kate Beckinsale, Caleb Landry Jones, Diego Luna, J.K. Simmons, Ben Foster, Jason Mitchell, Paul LeBlanc.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 6.5 out of 10, 51% critic 60% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
