unlabelledView post →Streaming has popularized a bold new genre I like to call War Dads: Dads Who War Good. I love this genre so much. Give me a Triple Frontier. Give me a The Contractor. If Roy from the Office is soldier #4 on the squad, you are likely watching a War Dads (Dads Who War Good) film.
unlabelledView post →Just watched #TheContractor and like many #American thrillers, it presents the disturbing premise that the hero is infallible regardless of the atrocious acts he carries out. The main character played by #ChrisPine is a soldier who is kicked out of the army for taking illegal drugs and becomes a contractor because he was unable to provide for his wife and child. He proceeds to murder countless innocent people and despise his reprehensible actions, we are expected to root for him. Deplorable.
unlabelledView post →I thought a bit of an undemanding action movie might take my mind off things. "The Contractor" with Wesley Snipes. We see a horse cantering around a paddock, a hand stretches out offering a treat. The horse's head stretches expectantly towards the proffered treat is now miraculously wearing a bridle
unlabelledView post →The Contractor is a movie where the action in the back half needed to sing and it simply doesn't
unlabelledView post →The Contractor (2007) is a great movie if you want a random fight scene that's also 3-5 minutes of the most migraine-inducing/photosensitive epilepsy-triggering flashing lights you can possibly imagine.

Snipes sleepwalks through DOLLAR TREE PROFESSIONAL (aka THE CONTRACTOR) and CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD did not click with me. #FilmSky🎥 #LastFourWatched

unlabelledView post →Is it weird that I like Chris Pine movies a lot and will probably watch them if he's in it. I watched All the Old Knives tonight and really enjoyed it. Had a nice glossy feel to it, a bit like the Real Life scenes in Nocturnal Animals. The Contractor was also a fun dumb movie. He seems cool.

unlabelledView post →Morbius (2022) The damning part is that The Contractor had the SAME RELEASE DAY as an infamously bad superhero movie. This means BOTH MOVIES exposed the harsh reality that Hollywood doesn't take filmmaking seriously, seeing these movies as disposable soapbox films and general oscarbait.

unlabelledView post →Let this serve as a content warning for #TheContractor (2022). In another time I'd have discussed how better executed a violent action movie it was than a Jason Statham movie. But its themes of paramilitaries, conducting outlaw operations, with lies as excuses are far too close to current events for comfort. Even in its time it was not regarded as a particularly good movie. If you seek escapism and fiction in movies, this one has quite short supply. Find something else. You've been warned.…

unlabelledView post →Well, I suppose even Chris Pine has bills - and this rather lacklustre effort must have been his accountant's suggestion of best ways to pay. Here, he plays the down on his luck "Harper" - a former American Special Forces operative - who joins up with some former colleagues on an highly paid mission in Germany under the aegis of Kiefer Sutherland ("Rusty"). Of course it all goes wrong and we now have to endure the usual run-of-the-mill cat and mouse antics as he tries to get home safely and…
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay as a time-waster and perfectly watchable as Chris Pine, as always, makes for a great lead, but the story is really predictable and the finale, which I think only was 10-minutes, felt really rushed and unsatisfying. It's a mix of Jack Ryan, Bourne Identity and Shooter. Fine as a rental, not sure I'd revisit anytime soon. 3.0/5
neutral · AI labelView post →FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/the-contractor-spoiler-free-review "The Contractor is one more generic action flick with a story borrowed directly from the formulaic Hollywood closet, without any surprises or even high entertainment levels. Chris Pine is the mandatory "famous face" chosen to (try to) elevate a plot seen countless times before, and with Ben Foster's friendly shoulder, they actually manage to carry Tarek Saleh's film for a good chunk of the…
