Brilliant! And Mark Wahlberg is the sole reason. I agree with Gabe Toro who wrote that "Wahlberg's one of those curious leading men, as no one seems to know if he's an A-Lister." And what's interesting is he is to many an A List Actor just by the virtue that he has had several films gross over $100 million Mark Wahlberg films over $100 domestically
1. 2010 – The Other Guys
2. 2006 – The Departed
3. 2003 – The Italian Job
4. 2001 – Planet of the Apes
5. 2000 – The Perfect Storm
6. 2010 – Date Night (came close at $98 million)
I believe Mark Wahlberg became a movie star with “Three Kings” in 1999. To me, I could see star potential and a leading man future and when he did “The Truth About Charlie,” I was convinced if I had had a smattering of a doubt before. “Contraband” is Mark’s stratospheric move, the gyroscope and earth sensor he needed to launch him into a geosynchronous orbit and land him in the top tier with Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Eddie Murphy, Johnny Depp, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Matt Damon, Will Smith, Jim Carrey, John Travolta and Brad Pitt. In fact, if it weren’t for the numbers (which count solely on popularity with the studios), I would put Mark Wahlberg between Tom Cruise and Matt Damon, in terms of star power, period! And with a nice lineup of projects slated for 2012 and 2013, for example, and untitled Basketball project w/Justin Bieber, Fighter 2 and filming “Ted” and the script “Five Brothers” I am riveting to his projects. Glued to every story, interview and news about his career and utterly looking forward to experiencing Mark Wahlberg’s convincing work of art.
