Mark Wahlberg stars as a master smuggler in Contraband but he should have smuggled a sense of fun and a script that wasn’t completely full of heist movie cliches.

Mark Wahlberg is a retired smuggler who is pulled into “one last job” to help his wife’s brother after he gets in trouble on his own smuggling job.

Someone has to fix the problems and that someone is Arthur Bishop, mechanic/hitman for hire.

This week a pair of hitmen go up against some demon fighting exorcists at the box office.

Continuing the trend of new features for 2011, be here at 8 PM EST on 1/19/2011 for Everything Action’s live blog of the original Mechanic, starring Charles Bronson and available on Netflix Instant Watch.

We see what’s coming out in theaters this weekend: Surrogates, Pandorum and Fame.
