Baltasar starred in the original 2008 Icelandic film Reykjavík - Rotterdam. He moved from acting in it to directing the remake to ensure it maintained a "gritty" feel. Set in New Orleans, this heist-thriller is about smuggling on container ships. Mark Wahlberg plays a blue-collar family man who’s sworn off his former life of crime, until his brother-in-law botches a drug deal and needs his help in order to repay the debt. Wahlberg agrees to do one last job, running contraband from Panama on a container ship.
