how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 41 comments (41 from Metacritic) β 9 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 9 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βContraband, while often grungy and far-fetched, does keep you watching. And in January, that's recommendation enough.β
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly Β· 75
βA thriller with its share of nail-biting moments.β
Roger Moore, Charlotte Observer Β· 75
βThe interplay between Wahlberg and Foster and then Ribisi is nicely done but the action in and around the cargo ship is where the movie's real fun lies. There is plenty of guy humor.β
Mary Pols, Time Β· 70
βIt's a genre film, not great art, though there's a good joke about art - a pricey piece of action painting, appropriately enough - but it's a thoroughly satisfying entertainment, and, in this season of lowered expectations, a nice surprise.β
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal Β· 70
βIt's still an obligingly tense, scruffy addition to the one-last-crime genre.β
Alison Willmore, Movieline Β· 70
Scores from Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, read 28 Aug 2026. Quotes belong to their publications and link to the full reviews.
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
