Contraband review

10 January, one more day to my 21st birthday.
So my boyfriend decided to celebrate one day earlier for me.


Was invited to Contraband movie preview, Thanks to omy.sg!

Movie at Shaw Lido.
Haven't been there for ages and it had went through major renovation.
Look and feel so much better in their new look. 
More spacious, cleaner and comfortable.

Synopsis

Mark Wahlberg leads the cast of Contraband, a fast-paced thriller about a man trying to stay out of a world he worked so hard to leave behind and the family he’ll do anything to protect. Set in New Orleans, the film explores the cutthroat underground world of international smuggling—full of desperate criminals and corrupt officials, high-stakes and big payoffs—where loyalty rarely exists and death is one wrong turn away.

Chris Farraday (Wahlberg) long ago abandoned his life of crime, but after his brother-in-law, Andy (Caleb Landry Jones), botches a drug deal for his ruthless boss, Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), Chris is forced back into doing what he does best—running contraband—to settle Andy’s debt. Chris is a legendary smuggler and quickly assembles a crew with the help of his best friend, Sebastian (Ben Foster), to head to Panama and return with millions in counterfeit bills.

Things quickly fall apart and with only hours to reach the cash, Chris must use his rusty skills to successfully navigate a treacherous criminal network of brutal drug lords, cops and hit men before his wife, Kate (Kate Beckinsale), and sons become their target.


Trailer

The first movie that I watched in 2012.
Contraband, grungy and far-fetched so does keep you watching. 
And in January, that is recommendation enough.
If you are deciding what movie to watch for this coming weekend, Contraband!
It will definitely enlighten you with its thrill, action and a little humor.


My rating:  

Enjoy!
