Chris is a legendary smuggler and quickly assembles a crew with the help of his best friend, Sebastian (Ben Foster), for one final run to Panama and back, hoping to 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.
EN 5 Second Review:
A thrill ride of an action movie that is what it is. If you like Wahlberg and his typical action movie this is definitely for you. A well done action adventure with a great mix of humor and action. If you are looking for subtle acting and drama this is not for you though.
