A reshaping of acclaimed 2008 Icelandic thriller Reykjavik-Rotterdam, Contraband looks a level above other recent Euro-remakes like Russell Crowe flop The Next Three Days. There are similarities, though. Wahlberg, like Crowe, must turn to crime to rescue his wife (Kate Beckinsale) - this time from some very bad people, Giovanni Ribisi's crime capo among them, in the New Orleans underground.
Contraband Trailer Starring Mark Wahlberg & Kate Beckinsale
A one-time smuggler now working as a security guard, Wahlberg's Chris Farraday goes back to the old business, heading to Panama with best mate Sebastian (Ben Foster) and coming back with millions in counterfeit bills. As the movie's trailer suggests, things goes awry pretty darn fast.
Caleb Landry Jones, Lukas Haas, Diego Luna and JK Simmons round out a tasty line-up of acting talent, while Baltasar Kormákur, a cast member in Reykjavik-Rotterdam, is on the other side of the camera here. Contraband is out on March 16, 2012.
