Good plot and action but way too much use of the "F" word.

Okay performance and action-packed. Great for a lazy or rainy day. Mark gives a subpar performance like he did in Brothers.

First rate production with no shortage of violence, action and hair's-breadth escapes. Only problem was, in the end, I never really cared what happened to any the characters.

An interesting movie about smuggling drugs and other contraband aboard a ship. The storyline was somewhat predictable but the movie did have plenty of action and an excellent cast.

Starts out as a same old "one last heist" plot,.. but then it gets more twisty and entertaining as it picks up the pace. I liked the blue collar grit. No glamorous 'Oceans 11' criminals,.. just increasing action and a pile-up of unexpected developments.

I lost interest in this action packed thriller. Probably had too many plot twists and not enough time invested in character development.

Violence: Yes, lots of it, however not graphic in nature.
