Starring : Mark Wahlberg, Giovanni Ribisi, Ben Foster, Kate Beckinsale, Caleb Landry Jones
Director : Baltasar Kormakur
Running Time : 110 mins
Ex-smuggler Chris Farraday (Wahlberg) is forced back into his old criminal ways when his brother-in-law Andy (Landry Jones) disposes of $700,000 worth of drugs that belong to his boss Tim Briggs (Ribisi), and Briggs threatens to kill him if he doesn’t get his money back. With help from his old smuggling buddy Sebastian Abney (Foster), Farraday joins the crew of a cargo ship bound for Panama where he plans on buying $10 million in fake money.
This is a typical heist movie like Ocean’s Eleven or Fast Five, but with a twist. Having the smugglers working in an attempt to save a relative may not be an original idea, but it is used to good effect in what could otherwise have been a pretty run of the mill thriller, although Ribisi does a fantastically sinister job as the villain of the piece.
