Club manager Bobby Green (Phoenix, pictured) lives the high-life with glamorous girlfriend Amada Juarez (Eva Mendes, pictured), running hotspot El Caribe for dodgy Russian businessman Vadim Nezhinski (Alex Veadov). Bobby has a dangerous secret: his estranged brother (Wahlberg) and father (Duvall) are narcotics cops, and Nezhinski is their number-one target.
