Movie Reviews of The ContractorMovie Review: Former Spy and Top Amazon Non-Fiction Reviewer Loves This Movie Summary: 5 Stars
This is a *grerat* movie and a feel-good film to boot. Ignore the negative reviewers, they don't have a life.
Bottom line is that this movie combines an excellent depictiion of the amorality of US covert operations, with a lovely juxtaposition of Wesley Snipes at his best, and two English lovlies, one a Scotland Yard inspector whose father is murdered by the Americans "on official business" and the other a lost young lass who is a good liar, loves horses, and saves the day.
Wesley Snipes is in my top ten action heros, and I am adding this DVD to my list of Great Spy DVDs.
Some really good non-fiction in this general area:
Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA
Lost History: Contras, Cocaine, the Press & 'Project Truth'
Dark Alliance: The CIA, the Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion
Licensed to Kill: Hired Guns in the War on Terror
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
Why We Fight
Summary of The ContractorWesley Snipes is back in this captivating action-thriller about a deadly assassin who finds himself on the run when an attempt to kill a terrorist mastermind in London goes terribly wrong. Retired marksman James Dial (Snipes) has been living a secluded life on his ranch in Montana but he is haunted by his failure to exterminate one of the world?s most notorious terrorists. Dial is approached by his old employers to finish the job in London, where the terrorist leader has been captured and is under heavy protection. What would be a routine mission for the sniper turns into a nightmare as Dial is forced into hiding and relentlessly pursued by the British police and their lead investigator, Windsor (Dance). But when Dial is framed for Windsor?s murder, he begins to realize that he has been seriously double-crossed. His only hope is a 12-year-old girl whom Dial reluctantly befriends as he desperately searches to find the killer and the truth behind his betrayal.
