Tom Huddleston
The result is unlikely to linger long in the memory, but it's enormous fun while it lasts...
David Denby
A winter-season product, but perfectly absorbing once it gets going.
Glenn Kenny
It's a good, chugging caper movie for the most part.
Peter Travers
Wahlberg could sleepwalk through this role, and does. See this movie and you'll surely follow his lead.
Tom Long
"Contraband" comes off the factory floor with its engine running and ready to drive. But the ride feels overly familiar.
Stephen Whitty
Frankly, Wahlberg has outgrown movies like this. And so have we.

Everyone needs a little action now and then, right? Unfortunately, a little action is all you'll get.

Not Good I thought it would have been better. Some things just bother me about this. There's one part where the woman is alone with her kids and the bad guy just walks in because she leaves her door unlocked. Come on, maybe the majority of the time bad things don't happen but its so far fetched because we don't leave our doors unlocked so people can just walk in.
Pretty Good I've always liked Mark and he did a good job in this one. For the people saying they cannot purchase the movie, its because you don't have Jelly Bean yet. It works just fine on my Galaxy Nexus with JB. Since its not officially released this is somewhat of a beta test. Be patient!
I have to agree...poor media promotion I feel bad giving this movie just one star - because it is a great movie. BUT I have to let Google know somehow that if they want to compete with iTunes and Amazon and be taken seriously they need to step it up. I love Google stuff and I am an Android man all the way, but I live in Canada and we seriously lacking on Google product that is available elsewhere. I love the connected Google interface - it is way better that Apple, but the media product needs to be universal and you have to be able to buy the stuff so people can take ownership of it and buy into Google. Just renting will not do - you can rent anywhere, and stream from a number of different sites. Google has the revenue muscle - they should be offering more than this.
Good movie, terrible picture quality This was a pretty good movie, but the picture quality on Google Play was terrible. It looked almost like a dubbed copy.
Loved it! Gotta catch ever flick with mark wahlberg, Liam neeson, and Matt Damon! Bad @$$!!!! I ran into Mark in NOLA at my hotel when he was shooting this movie. He is cooler and more bad @$$ in real life! The story has cool twists and turns.
false advertising false advertising , the movie is on the main market movie page to own. Once downloaded 24 hour expiration time comes up . Now if I'm correct that would be false advertising
Solid Rental Pleasantly surprised. Intriguing story with some good action. It's no Oscar candidate but a solid and entertaining movie. Glad I rented it.
Good not great Acting is good, story line was a little stale. I expexted more.
Pretty good The plot was sooo busy. Not perfect, but in the end it pulls through ok. Gotta love marky w
Own it...... Movie is a 3.5 star, and the reason there is no buy button is because you can "own it" for a "limited time" deal. Lmfao!
One of the best movies I loved this movie so much. Great movie, excellent plot,not one moment was boring, always had you interested in.must watch!!
Nice twist on the story Nice cast of characters, good plot and follow through. Nice action. I like movies where you think about the plot as the movie progresses. Good gun fights too.
It's rental not to own I thought I was buying the movie, turns out it's a rental. It's says to own the ad
HALF AND HALF I have an HDMI cord I paid $6 on Amazon. I watch my movies on a 55 inch flat screen. Rentals are too expensive. Movies from the 80s, 2.99, seriously .99 is plenty ! I had an HTC fone and you could buy movies. You have to option to buy or rent. Great great idea!!!!!! Overall only complaint is the prices and no option to buy. If you do give the option don't go overboard you aren't hurting for money!!!!!!
Awesome movie Good movie, not much of a plot but a good movie still
Answer 2 a question I haven't watched it yet, but the answer 2 Angela's ? Is 30days but if u start watching it, its only 24hrs.
Good Movie - Overpriced Rental Fee I really liked the movie but these rental fee's are getting ridiculous. There is no reason for a streamed movie to cost $4.00. Reduced 2 stars for price alone.
good flick was pretty much what i was expecting..good action, great smuggling, overall good flick
Terrible How does this have a high rating? this movie was boring. There is hardly any action. Shooter was thousands of leagues better.
