When his brother-in-law runs afoul of a drug lord, family man Chris Farraday turns to a skill he abandoned long ago—smuggling—to repay the debt. But the job goes wrong, and Farraday finds himself wanted by cops, crooks and killers alike.
Acting
Giovanni Ribisi's twitchy, unhinged Tim Briggs steals every scene he's in.
Practical Effects
Grimy dockside smuggling sequences feel authentically desperate, not glossy.
Director
Baltasar Kormákur
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a remake of director Baltasar Kormákur's own 2008 Icelandic film 'Reykjavík-Rotterdam'—he played the lead originally.
The film captures late-2000s anxiety about shrinking legitimate opportunities, where even skilled workers turn to gray markets.
