“Contraband”: Mark Wahlberg, with Popeye biceps and broody stares, stars as an ex-smuggler forced to go back and do one last job in order to stop a twitchy, tattooed thug from menacing his family.

“Pariah”: Dee Rees’ accomplished feature debut is a coming-of- age-and-coming-out story of a 17-year-old Brooklyn girl expressively played by newcomer Adepero Oduye. (1:30, R for sexual content and language) • • • 1/2
