When his very first assignment goes awry, the elite soldier finds himself hunted and on the run, caught in a dangerous conspiracy and fighting to stay alive long enough to get home and uncover the true motives of those who betrayed him; "Pine and Foster sync up flawlessly, even when the dialogue fails them. This isn't the reunion they deserve, but it's nevertheless welcome."--New York Times; "There's something comfortingly unflashy about The Contractor: the action isn't earth-shatteringly exciting, but it's clearly shot, with enough jolts of vitality to keep the plot spinning."--Time Magazine; "Being a solid cut above average is good enough, given so much formulaic mediocrity among thrillers cluttering the streaming market."--Variety; "...zeroes in on the soldiers who are trained to kill and often taken for granted. But it never stoops to empty flag-waving rhetoric. Instead, it asks what the protectors are protecting us from."--Hollywood Reporter UR - https://thumbnail.midwesttape.com/14974864_180.jpg ER -
