Here is the synopsis for “Contraband”:
Mark Wahlberg leads the cast of “Contraband”: a white-knuckle action/thriller about a man trying to stay out of a world he worked hard to leave behind and the family he’ll do anything to protect. Set in New Orleans, the film explores the cutthroat underground world of international smuggling. It’s full of desperate criminals, corrupt officials, high stakes and big payoffs. Loyalty rarely exists and death is one wrong turn away.
Chris Farraday (Wahlberg) long ago abandoned his life of crime, but after his brother-in-law, Andy (Caleb Landry Jones), botches a drug deal for his ruthless boss, Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), Chris is forced back into doing what he does best – running contraband – to settle Andy’s debt. Chris is a legendary smuggler and quickly assembles a crew with the help of his best friend, Sebastian (Ben Foster), to head to Panama and return with millions in counterfeit bills.
Things quickly fall apart, and with only hours to reach the cash, Chris must use his rusty skills to successfully navigate a treacherous criminal network of brutal drug lords, cops and hit men before his wife, Kate (Kate Beckinsale), and sons become their target.
The movie trailer for “Contraband” can be watched now below.

What Wouldn't I Do
I would do whatever it takes except sacrifice them for at that point I would then sacrifice myself
Tix, please!
Thanks!
family
You never really know what you will do until you are in a situation but, there as of right now I cant think of anything I wouldnt do to protect my family because they are the most imprtant people to me.
Perfect Pitch Protection
Everyone has choices and the best relationship one has is with yourself and your family is the next.
Whatever the need for protection and my ability and means available I would be outside of myself and be there through thick or thin for my family.
2nd attempt at Protection Comment not showing I submitted?
I have a good relationship with myself and therefore
As long as respect exists toward all members of family toward each other I would always be mindful of protecting and caring for my family with the available means I have to do so and ability to be there for them always.
anything.
anything.
What I would do to protect my Family.
It’s easier to say what I would Not do. That would be a blank list. I would do anything to protect my family.
What I would do to protect my Family.
I would do anything and everything to protect my family.
What wouldn't i do?
There is nothing I wouldn’t do to protect my family. I would do anything for them no matter what and no matter what it costs to make sure they are all safe
What wouldn't I do....
I guess I couldn’t take other’s lives. Because, then neither I or the the rest of my family would be able to live with that. I couldn’t “play God.”
