Contraband
Thriller set in the world of international smuggling starring Mark Wahlberg, Kate Beckinsale and Giovanni Ribisi.
In New Orleans, former smuggler Chris (Wahlberg) is forced back into the game after his brother-in-law, Andy (Caleb Landry Jones, X-Men: First Class), botches a drug deal for his ruthless boss, Briggs (Ribisi). In an attempt to repay Andy's debt, Chris assembles a crew and makes a run to Panama and back, hoping to return with millions in counterfeit bills. When things fall apart on route, Briggs seeks revenge by going after Chris' wife (Beckinsale). Finding himself deep inside the world he had left behind, Chris now has to go toe-to-toe with the psychotic Briggs to protect his family.

Has a few moments of tension, but it adheres to a predictable heist formula hardly worth trafficking in.

Contraband involves a lot of energy, but I'm getting tired of violent retreads of these heist elements.

Makes for a fun flick at first, until a nasty - and tonally inconsistent - misogynistic streak kills the joy.
