Watch The Contract For Free

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The premises for this movie is set high. I mean, a thriller starring the talented Morgen Freeman and John Cusack. And I will say that the movie is quite good and entertaining.This movie is about Ray (played by John Cusack) who is out in the woods hiking with his son when they come across Frank (played by Morgan Freeman) who is handcuffed to a dying policeman. Frank is a killer set out to do a contract job. With Frank's associates searching the woods for their boss, Ray and his son must track treacherous terrain with dangerous men in their footsteps.There is a great progress to the movie, and it is constantly up in high gear. There is a lot of thrill and excitement in the movie. And there is a good continuity throughout the entire movie.With Morgan Freeman and John Cusack in the lead roles you know very well what you are in for. And right on the money, they deliver where it counts. And they make it well-worth watching the movie.If you enjoy a good cat-and-mouse thriller then "The Contract" is definitely something that you should check out. It was thoroughly entertained by this movie from start till end.

I liked the cast, the script was decent enough, the little kid in the film wasn't your typical annoying stereotypical Hollywood kid in a flick type kid, his essaying of the role was quite nuanced. I think it was the mood, pace, setting and filming technique that made it all just seem like either a made-for-TV movie or a straight-to-DVD release.Morgan Freeman plays an expert contract killer who has been hired for a job but gets double-crossed along the way. John Cusack plays the retired police officer trying to bond with his son while on a camping trip but ends up apprehending and attempting to bring Freeman's character in before he carries out his assignment.

Don't watch this film, it is truly terrible.Seeing that it had Freeman and Cusack in it, I assumed it must be at least in some way worth watching. I couldn't have been more wrong.Although I watched it for free on TV I was still annoyed at having wasted 2 hours subjecting myself to it. I almost didn't make it all the way through to the end.Despite having Freeman and Cusack in it, it reeks of "straight to DVD" (and indeed it was, having now checked). Bad script, unbelievable characters and conversations, bad acting, poor special effects, shallow character development, ridiculous plot, etc etc.The only value that this movie has for showing in media studies classes to provide examples of all the things NOT to do when writing and making a movie.If you want to watch a mindless action thriller movie starring Freeman, go watch Deep Impact or Chain Reaction. I wouldn't say either of those is particularly great, but in comparison to this movie they are! Of course, for a genuinely good action thriller go watch the Bourne trilogy.

I actually sat through it. I like John Cusak and Morgan Freeman and even Megan Dodds, whom I have watched in MI5 and Ever After. "Writers" Stephen Katz and John Darrouzet give expert lessons in how to write the worst imaginable screenplay. These two yokels have got to be two of the most untalented WGA members in the history of film. At one juncture, Morgan Freeman is talking about Aboriginals. The word is Aborigines. Aboriginal is an adjective. However, if the writers were, in fact, child prodigies in fifth grade, this was an incredible piece of writing. A great film to watch on a Sunday night if you happen to be stoned out of your mind, but otherwise, try using the DVD for skeet shooting if you must use it at all.
