He takes on high-risk contracts with Harper’s company because he knows that if things go wrong, he can always count on the help of his family. However, his first mission goes wrong when he learns that Harper has been betrayed. Now on his own, Harper does what he can to dig himself out of trouble and seek revenge on the people who put his life in danger.
The movie’s plotline is interesting, but it’s not a tense or involving action movie. It might sound like another Bourne-type movie, but it’s a pale imitation that does nothing to stand out in a crowded genre. ..
The problem with Pine is that he doesn’t have much to work with in the way of character development. He is a very good actor, but his screen time is too limited to really make an impact. This could be improved by giving him more opportunities to explore his emotions and show us what makes him tick.
Pine is not the only ex-army guy going undercover. He is joined by Mike (Ben Foster), his former comrade in arms, but despite their friendship and working relationship, it doesn’t take too long to realize they won’t be joined at the hip for long. Still, before they are forced apart, the two set out to track down a Syrian biochemist with supposed terrorist links. They do what has to be done with ruthless precision but trouble arises when Pine realizes he has been double-crossed after completing the mission. ..
After spending the last few episodes of the season piecing together clues, it seems that Jack Bauer’s suspicions may have been correct all along. It seems that his friend and former colleague, Mike, may have been the one who betrayed him and helped orchestrate the assassination of President David Palmer. Alternatively, it could be Rusty Jennings – leader of a mercenary group known as “The Cleaners” – who is actually behind everything. Or perhaps there is another explanation altogether? I’m not saying – you can read our Ending Explained article for that! – but needless to say, you won’t be overly surprised when you find out. ..
The movie is competent rather than thrilling. However, the director and screenwriters try to give the movie an extra dimension by tackling the treatment of American veterans. Pine’s character is thrown out of the army, despite his years of service, and this could be a more thought-provoking action thriller. Unfortunately, any plot points related to this are quickly dismantled in favour of shootouts and tired revenge tropes, which is a shame. ..
This review sounds negative but the movie isn’t terrible. Its story doesn’t make much of an impact and besides a few bruising fight scenes, the action doesn’t either. But there are far worse movies out there, so it’s not your worst option on a Saturday night if you’re looking for something with a few basic thrills. If you’re looking for something with more brains than brawn, however, this won’t do much to satisfy you.
The cast of Hell or High Water was impressive, but Foster and Pine were the stars of the show. They both had great chemistry and were able to play off each other well. The limited script didn’t do them any favors, but they still managed to pull off a great performance.
Despite the lack of interesting new players in The Contractor, its formulaic characters are still well-drawn and enjoyable to watch. Gillian Jacobs, who plays Pine’s wife, has nothing much to work with so it’s a surprise that she bothered to turn up at all for a role that is far beneath her talents.
The film is serviceable but unremarkable, and it doesn’t do much to set itself apart from other spy thrillers like The Bourne Identity, Shooter, and Chris Pine’s previous foray into the genre with Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. ..
Despite the mixed reviews for its predecessor, The Contractor is still a better movie than the 2007 Wesley Snipes movie of the same name.
The contractor ending is a common occurrence in the construction industry. It’s when a contractor signs a contract with a client, but doesn’t meet the terms of the agreement. This can lead to problems, such as money owed to the client, missed deadlines, and even litigation. Here’s an explanation of what happens when a contractor ends their contract:
