"The Contractor may not have the greatest action scenes or ending, but its heart – which it wears on its sleeve – still makes it worth watching. Chris Pine gives a superb performance as a man who’s been forced to make some tough decisions after he was abandoned by the country he spent his whole life serving. It’s an emotional examination of how oth...
"Throughout The Contractor there is an air of rigorous yet forgettable competence. Director Tarik Saleh acquits himself well in his first job with an A-list actor.

Apr 1, 2022 · Ultimately, “The Contractor” becomes depressingly routine. The action isn’t interestingly staged, and the plot has less twists in its 100 minutes than your average single episode of a spy drama. It all feels like set-up, getting people ready for a series of a film franchise, but so narratively thin on its own that you could recount the ...
