Reviews

Entertainment Weekly -
Contraband, while often grungy and far-fetched, does keep you watching. And in January, that's recommendation enough.

|
Austin Chronicle -
Contraband is a tidy little thriller that makes up in execution what it lacks in originality.
|
|
Boston Globe -
I don't know that a lot of Contraband makes sense. But I'm not sure that it has to. The director Baltasar Kormákur carries the movie off with efficiency, brutality, and humor.

|
Village Voice -
No one, however, could mistake Contraband for anything but what it is: a shift-job genre movie - not a bad day's work, content to match the blocky trudge of its star rather than attempt panache.

The Hollywood Reporter -
The lead role of a working class former smuggler who dirties his hands again to save his family fits Mark Wahlberg like a glove.
