Movie Reviews of The Contract
Movie Review: Solid action..excellent preformances
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed the Contract alot, after all it has almost everything an action / thriller movie needs.
the plot was simple and yes it did not add anything new or original, but it was pretty decent and was fast paced with smart dialogue lines. it involved a single dad ( Cusak ) and his son who go out camping in the woods and thier path is crossed by an assassin ( Freeman ) who was escorted by the FBI, soon the assassin's henchmen follow to help their boss escape..and the chase begins !
It had some very good preformances by both Cusak and Freeman, thier acting was top notch, a very good character build up and development, and some pretty solid action.. gun power and even some fist fights..quite enjoyable..
i would highly recommend this to any action fans or fans of either Cusak or Freeman..this movie stands out from the countless lame B-action movies that are coming out these days.
I would also recommend the following : if you like Cusak i would recommend 1408 (Widescreen Edition) , if you like Freeman i would recommend The Bucket List, if you are looking for some good action then don't miss Rambo (Special Edition + Digital Copy) if you want some action similar to the Contract then watch The Marine (Unrated Edition)
Movie Review: Morgan Freeman does it again!
Summary: 5 Stars
Can enough good things be said about this man? He is a very versatile actor, and brings good things to whatever he plays in. It is no understatement to say that his face on the cover of a movie is evidence enough to know that it is good.
As for this movie: The plot was interesting, and the action was intense. After watching it, one did ask the question of how a gym teacher took such a profound interest in returning a captive professional killer-- at the risk of his life. And one does wonder how someone got in touch with just the right governmenet official that wanted to see this hitman snuffed out.
But, other than that, it was quite good.
Movie Review: Exciting political thriller...
Summary: 5 Stars
A well done, low-key medium octane thriller, The Contract works on quite a few levels offering up plentiful helpings of drama, thrills, action, and intrigue. The story revolves around a father and son learning to reconnect and trust one another under tense circumstances after becoming inadvertantly entangled in a dangerous criminal plot. Though there are certainly some scenes of violence, the film isn't buried in heavy amounts of gore or extreme violence and was the perfect Friday night thriller for us all including our 18 year old nephew. Fun, exciting movie; Morgan & Cusack are always in top form.Movie Review: Morgan Freeman & John Cusack The Dynamic Duo
Summary: 5 Stars
I Strongly Disagree with a Couple of the Reviews On This Page! I think some people are so used to huge commercially driven blockbusters with roman numerals at the end of the title that they dont know a good action film when they see it! This Film is a HIDDEN GEM and one of those Rare Action Films that actually has EXCELLENT ACTING In The Film! This is The Type of Film that Keeps you Guessing till the very end and Morgan Freeman actually does The Impossible, he plays a bad guy that you actually grow to like. Definatley see This Film, you cant go wrong with Freeman and Cusack!Movie Review: A Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a fantastic film! The Contract is packed with great action, breath taking scenery, and many brilliantly expressed comical lines. The dialog was very impressive between the characters which really draw you in, because it makes everything feel so real. I loved the beautiful underlying message between the father and the son. The growth of the characters, including Morgan Freeman's was very touching. I really enjoyed it! CONGRATULATIONS!
