Spoiler Alert:
I like the actor Mark Wahlberg and many of his films. "Contraband" but disappointed on whole Linie.Das usual pattern is here extended to 100%, without the slightest modification or creative ideas.
Hero + family advised involuntarily in criminal circles, hero is a criminal in order to solve the problem, Sidekicks do stupid things that complicate everything, yet hero lößt all problems effortlessly, sends the bad guys to jail and can keep the money. The American Dream, Happy End with family.
Serious emotions shows alone Lukas Haas, but only in one place.
Kate and the children might be traumatized by the constant attacks of the bad guys, they cost about the life at the end - nil return.
These things are going extremely Aalglatt for our hero, there is not realism. The solution of difficult situations to simply omitted, the hero has made it up somehow and it worked without problems.
The whole might not be so bad if you could not have seen approximately 1 million times. But if one has.
My conclusion: this film you can absolutely save, as a fan of Mark Wahlberg.
