A former smuggler from New Orleans faces ruthless drug lords, vicious criminals, corrupt officials, and trigger-happy hit men after getting back into the business to help his brother-in-law settle a deadly debt. When it came to transporting illicit goods under treacherous circumstances, Chris Farraday (Mark Wahlberg) used to be the best in the business. But all of that changed when he chose to give up his life of crime to start a family with Kate (Kate Beckinsale). Chris learns that leaving his past behind is easier said than done, however, after Kate's brother Andy (Caleb Landry Jones) goes to work for ferocious drug lord Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), and drops the ball on a major deal. Now, in order to set things right, Chris must smuggle millions of dollars in counterfeit bills from Panama into the United States. And if anything goes wrong, Tim will target his entire family for death. With his best friend Sebastian (Ben Foster) by his side and a crackerjack crew along for the ride, Chris heads to Panama for one last job. Later, with time running out and a treacherous maze of desperate criminals to navigate, the job gets complicated, and Chris must race to reach his family before Tim gets to them first.

    Fast paced action packed movie. That was the good part. What I found disappointing is that the movie portrays criminal activity as alright, under certain circumstances, especially if you can get away with it.

    Good diversion kind of movie that holds your attention all the way through. Surprise ending was interesting. My homemade fresh popped corn tasted delicious with this movie.

    Unwatchable, gave up after about 15 minutes - painfully bad directing, weak script, lame acting, and a plot that has been better used countless times There is nothing about this movie worth watching
