A friend of mine told me that I had to sit down to watch the 2022 action thriller "The Contractor" as it was a really good movie. So I took his word and opted to sit down and watch what writer J. P. Davis and director Tarik Saleh had to offer with "The Contractor".
And I will say that "The Contractor" was definitely watchable, but it wasn't an outstanding action thriller. Whereas it certainly was entertaining, I just found the storyline to be somewhat bland and generic. And writer J. P. Davis just didn't bring much of anything new to the genre. A shame really, because there certainly was pontential for a lot more here.
The storyline, while somewhat generic, was interesting enough and made for good entertainment. So yeah, I will say that "The Contractor" is worth taking the time to sit down and watch. Just keep in mind that you are not in for a revolutionary action thriller here. The pacing of the storyline was good, and there was a good combination of character development and action throughout the course of the movie.
Was "The Contractor" predictable? You betcha. But it was not really a hindrance for the plot, because the movie ended up being rather enjoyable nonetheless.
The movie had a good cast ensemble, and it was nice to see Chris Pine in a movie such as this one. Ben Foster was also rather nicely cast for the movie, and it was definitely a treat to see Keifer Sutherland in the movie, and he had a rather good role in "The Contractor".
All in all, then "The Contractor" makes good entertainment for a single viewing. And I do say single viewing, because there simply wasn't enough contents to the storyline to support more than a single viewing here. So yeah, I am not going to be returning to watch "The Contractor" a second time.
My rating of director Tarik Saleh's 2022 action thriller "The Contractor" lands on a six out of ten stars.
