Marky Mark kicks butt!

An ex-smuggler-gone-straight-family man Chris Farraday (Mark Wahlberg) must pay for the sins of his foolish brother-in-law Andy (Caleb Jones) who gets tangled up with Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), a vicious drug dealer. Chris finds himself taking on a major job in order to clear Andy of his debt and keep his family safe. Best friend Sebastian Abney (Ben Foster) is asked to take care of Chris's family after Briggs and his thugs threaten them. Unfortunately for Chris, things don't go quite according to plans. Lots of twists and Chris soon discovers that his enemy is actually a lot closer than he thinks.
Despite the film's flaws, Ben Foster and Giovani Ribisi manage to stand out, J.K. Simmons delivers a good performance as Captain Camp, a crusty and tough cargo ship captain, Mark Wahlberg is still convincing as a tough guy and and Kate Beckinsale from the Underworld series does a killer job at being nothing but a pretty face in this film. (What happened Kate? I was expecting more from you!)
