Holy crap you have to see this! This is the first trailer for Baltasar Kormákur's action adventure thriller Contraband starring Mark Wahlberg and Kate Beckinsale. (Remember those pics of Kate with blonde hair? This is the movie the dye job was for.) It's a remake (sigh) of an Icelandic film called Reykjavik-Rotterdam. While I didn't see the original, this looks like it kicks all kinds of ass! Watch the trailer and see if you don't agree!

The synopsis: A security guard with financial troubles considers a return to his smuggling ways when an associate offers a potentially lucrative opportunity.  That's not even half the story though. It's another one of those tales where like Michael Corleone said in Godfather 3, "just when I think I'm out…they PULL me back in", only this time it's family man Mark Wahlberg who gets sucked back into 'the life' thanks to his ne'er do well brother. Kate and the kids are in all sorts of danger. Ooooo.

The cast of Contraband includes the excellent Giovanni Ribisi, the equally excellent Ben Foster, J. K. Simmons, Lukas Haas, Caleb Landry Jones, Diego Luna and Marky Mark's older brother, Robert Wahlberg. Contraband opens January 13 in the US and 16 March in the UK.
