Lucy Fife Donaldson says: "Mark Wahlberg is pulled back into the smuggling business when his brother-in-law falls foul of a no-good gang, run by Giovanni Ribisi (who looks and sounds the meanest he has yet). What follows is a fairly standard, but no less fun for it, caper of heist plans and double (double) crosses that goes to Panama and back. If you can’t fall for the easy charm of Wahlberg, not to mention the wiry charisma of Ribisi and Ben Foster, then this is unlikely to be of much interest. It's not the best recent Wahlberg performance (see The Fighter, We Own the Night or even Date Night), however, even the over-the-topness of the plot and the non-presence of Kate Beckinsale, won’t make him less than enjoyable."
