A smuggler, Chris Farraday, who reforms after getting married and having 2 kids, is forced to do one more 'job' following a fuck-up by his brother-in-law Andy. Andy gets mixed up with a baby faced badass guy Tim Briggs
Chris plans to use counterfeit money to pay off Briggs. That's the only innovative part of this movie. For this he goes to Panama in a shipping vessel. Chris also comes to know of the true colors of his trusted aide Sebastian during this mission.
Mark Wahlberg plays a role that he is used to, the tough guy with a swagger and lots of aggression. Kate Beckinsale is the cute wife. Giovanni Ribisi is the bad guy who is chicken compared to our hero.
The movie is interesting at few instances. The last scene is one such upbeat sequence which has shades of the last scene in 'Lock Stock'
VERDICT: Regular Hollywood action fare which can be given a miss.
