Saw Chris Pine at a coffee shop, wearing some really great sandals and decided to let this rock agaian on The Movie Channel. I choose to believe this movie takes place in the Tar-verse. Nina Hoss is basically Chris Shiherlis in this. Otherwise dece b-movie/trash special…

The very broad melodrama and anguished tone of this is a bit much especially in its "look what we've done to Our Veterans" opening half hour or so but it picks up quite a bit once it switches modes and starts minutely navigating the bleak, dirty world of privatized NatSec…
Josh LewisMar 31, 2022"We were trained to be ruthlessly adaptable. Use it. We're all mercenaries in the end." So, The Contractor is kinda, sorta daftly written, poorly edited, & clumsily directed. Major amateur vibes comin off of this one, really 😬 Buuuuuut it's also pretty entertaining. &…
⛔🏈💔NotAnnaFaris💔🏈⛔Apr 4, 2022Both Chris Pine and Gillian Jacobs fully deserve to be in more movies and shows, but no one deserves to be in such an incredibly mediocre and even more forgettable action movie.

Ich fand den Trailer zu diesem Film interessant. Geheimagenten, Action, Thriller, gepaart mit einem Schuss Liebe, haben mich an Filme ala "Bourne" denken lassen. "The Contractor" ist sehr stilvoll und gut gemacht. Auch an der Besetzung gibt es nichts zum herummeckern.…
Mister CapJul 30, 2022Some people want Chris Pine contracted, So they reach out and he'll be contacted. Who's the imposter? Not dead Ben Foster! Some info might still be redacted.
JBirdApr 2, 2022A gray, more distinguished-looking Chris Pine is front and center for this modest and small-scale military-themed thriller, and part of the reason I enjoyed it is because of how modest and small-scale it is; it feels the product of some other universe where movies like this…

- Andrew Gooder likedThe Contractor
The movie did feel just a little rushed at times and the final fight scene went by in a matter of a couple minutes but other than that I actually enjoyed this movie. It was entertaining, I liked the plot to it and Chris Pine nailed the role. I’ll give it an 8.6/10
Nick Dubberly is "meh" onThe ContractorI hadn’t seen any promotion for this movie before it was released on physical, but as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to see it! Unfortunately it didn’t live up to my own hype that I created for it. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t great.
Sam Masters likedThe ContractorWhat started off with buckets of potential, quickly turned into a botch job with a loose story. It could’ve done with being longer to allow for a better paced, fleshed out story. Regardless, Chris Pine was excellent
- Austin likedThe Contractor
Hard to not like a movie like this - some of the scenes were very unrealistic like the shootout scenes and when they breezed over him getting through him easily getting back to the America but still a good watch
Lucy Fir likedThe ContractorThis one was really bordering the like between meh and like, it started pretty slow and I feel like it needed more story to it. Somewhat decent ending 5/10
Jackson likedThe ContractorPretty good movie. The weapons and gear used looked great along with some of the tactics, but it felt like there wasn’t much depth to it at all.

Metacritic

It follows the rules of the genre as unwaveringly as its hero follows orders, but despite that, there’s a tense, tightly constructed thriller here — and Chris Pine makes a decent play as a neo-Bourne.

While his character is intended to be lost and powerless, Pine seems adrift in another way, too – a star without a proper star vehicle.

The Contractor is decidedly Pine’s film. His performance is as efficient as the script, which Saleh mirrors with a crisp, smooth aesthetic. There’s nothing particularly showy about the style, but it serves the story of this professional warrior working his way through an unfamiliar place.
