Okay as a time-waster and perfectly watchable as Chris Pine, as always, makes for a great lead, but the story is really predictable and the finale, which I think only was 10-minutes, felt really rushed and unsatisfying. It’s a mix of Jack Ryan, Bourne Identity and Shooter. Fine as a rental, not sure I’d revisit anytime soon. **3.0/5**
Well, I suppose even Chris Pine has bills – and this rather lacklustre effort must have been his accountant’s suggestion of best ways to pay. Here, he plays the down on his luck “Harper” – a former American Special Forces operative – who joins up with some former colleagues on an highly paid mission in Germany under the aegis of Kiefer Sutherland (“Rusty”). Of course it all goes wrong and we now have to endure the usual run-of-the-mill cat and mouse antics as he tries to get home safely and deal with his betrayer. It’s not that it’s a shocker, this – it’s just that it is all so join-the-dots. It is in no way original; the plot is terribly predictable with the baddie’s identity written pretty large right from the start and though entertaining enough, all the action scenes have such a disappointing inevitability about them. It takes quite a while to build up a head of steam, which doesn’t really help it either as the whole thing could easily condense down into a decent fifty minute action thriller. It’s a competent made for telly movie that I doubt even it’s writers can remember now.
Decent but too regular
This is a decent movie with a decent story and decent action. Chris Pine gives a great performance. Unfortunately this movie is also fairly slow, fully predictable and very regular. It doesn’t stand out in any way, but at the same time I didn’t mind watching it. (1 viewing, 4/5/2022)
Another slice of misery
I accidentally watched The Dog, another film about a disgruntled ex-servicemen struggling with life. This is similar, but in The Contractor instead joins a shadowy outfit undertaking dodgy missions in Germany. It’s not believable, on may levels. The acting was good, some decent action, but the story was just forced and unengaged. A rewatch of the first Taken would have been more satisfying.
