Mark Wahlberg will be in attendance.
The multi-talented Mark Wahlberg leads an all-star cast in this devilishly twisty tale, one of the best heist films in recent memory and surely one of the films of the year.
Director Baltasar Kormákur (Jar City) sets up the triangle at the core of the film: former freight ship worker Chris (Wahlberg), his wife Iris (Kate Beckinsale) and his best friend Sebastian (Ben Foster), who used to be involved with Iris.
In debt and on probation after serving time for smuggling, Chris works hard to stay out of trouble, but when Iris’ screw-up of a younger brother lands in trouble for a botched drug run for his ruthless boss Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), Chris is sucked back into the world he hoped he’d left behind. Against his instincts, Chris decides to make a contraband run to Panama; one last job which will both pay off Briggs and set up Chris and his family once and for all.
Wahlberg is electrifying as the family man turned criminal mastermind, backed by standout performances from Giovanni Ribisi and Diego Luna. A tanker with no brakes is the only thing that’s out of control in one of the smartest action films of the year. - Gráinne Humphreys, Jameson Dublin International Film Festival
