Profile of The Contract

The mood of The Contract is suspenseful. The plot centers around parents and children, crimes, and custody issues. It is a drama, thriller, and action movie. In approach, The Contract is serious and realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in the wilderness. It happens in contemporary times. The Contract is especially suggested for a boys' night.

Summary of The Contract

Though Oscar winner Morgan Freeman is best known for playing noble characters in films such as MILLION DOLLAR BABY and THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, he goes over to the dark side for this thriller. John Cusack (1408) plays Ray Keene, a father who organizes a hiking trip so he can get closer to his son after his wife's passing. But their vacation is interrupted by the arrival of a brutal hit man (Freeman), who will do anything to collect his fee as a contract killer. THE CONTRACT reunites Freeman with his DRIVING MISS DAISY director Bruce Beresford, who also directed the tense film DOUBLE JEOPARDY.

An oddity. The script is fine (dialogue is occasionally clunky), acting is fine, style is fine...and yet, something is wrong. The archetypes are clearly defined, but perhaps much TOO clearly. Freeman's assasin does everything we'd expect him to do,... Read and rate it
