Movie Review

If there's one thing Marky Mark is good at these days, it's being a badass. Whether playing an up-and-coming boxer or a military sniper, the former rapper knows how to throw a punch and look all-menacingly like. Even when his movies aren't very good, you know you're going to get an energetic, badass performance from the guy*. Takes Contraband, his latest movie. It's routine and unremarkable, but Mark Wahlberg does what he does best: play a badass, and that's enough.
