The first is that the good of Tinseltown celebrities Wahlberg. Former drug addict models, teen idol and pants in recent years emerged as a credible actor. And while we have not only for 2012 and 2013 were seven production planning (!). And if we now can choose from depression George Clooney a ruftende Jospeh Gordon-Levitt and Michael Fassbender sex addict, you still Wahlberg is the safest. Wahlberg continues for real action hero: a loving family man with muscular body, with the look of determination and boundless confidence against the cruel world.
