Mark Wahlberg + Boston accent= Good film.
Simple equation.
Wahlberg stars as a former smuggling all-star (At the DAWHKS) turned father/ home security installer. He goes straight, starts his own business, you see where this is going. Tragically underused Kate Beckinsale (She can't be in front of the camera enough in my eyes) plays his wife who has a grand-class fuck-up brother who throws drugs overboard when their ship gets searched. Giovanni Ribisi (Again excellent) demands the money and won't give Wahlberg more than two weeks to get it. Wahlberg then engages in smuggling insanity to get $700K, or something like that. The movie follows Ribisi terrorizing his family and his adventure to smuggle counterfeit bills to make the debt up. He of course has to bring uber-fucker-uper brother along. It's a clusterfuck, but you are kept in the darkness for the most part.
Bottom Line: 7.6 out of 10.
Worth a rental, if nothing else it's worth it for the accents.
