The first trailer for new crime thriller Contraband has hit online. Contraband stars Mark Wahlberg as a former crook, trying to go straight as a security guard. However it's not long before his old life catches up with him, and when his families life is threatened he gets sucked back into the world of crime. A remake of Icelandic film Reykjavik-Rotterdam, Contraband is being directed by Baltasar Kormakur who played Wahlberg's role in the original.
As well worn as the story might appear, Contraband has being generating some good buzz and if the trailer's anything to go by it looks to be a solid action thriller. Kate Beckinsale is set to star as Wahlberg's wife along with a solid cast including Ben Foster, Giovanni Ribisi, Diego Luna and the ever-brilliant JK Simmons. Contraband is due for release on 16th March 2012.
