Movie Review of The Contract April 10, 2010
Posted by Michael in Movies.trackback
We just watched this. Here is what you need to know about this movie:
1. Morgan Freeman.
2. John Cusack.
3. Lots of shooting and other kinds of violence plus plot twists and good people in danger being hunted by professional killers in the wilderness.
Need I say more?
I think not. It’s a winner. By “winner” I mean, of course, that I did not fall asleep on the couch watching some movie about relationships that Cathy put in our NetFlix queue.
You will have a hard time finding a movie with Morgan Freeman that you don’t enjoy. He (or his agent) is a genius at picking scripts.
Well, to be objective, I probably should say that the movie lacks even a fleeting glance at a pair of bare boobs. There is not even a wet hooter-stretched T-shirt with nipple bulges clearly discernible. But the movie is otherwise interesting enough that this omission is forgivable.
Also, I did my tax return this weekend and e-filed it.
Woo Hoo! I owed the government less than five figures.
There’s an upside to a recession beyond being a buy opportunity.
Coincidentally, we watched The Code (aka Thick as Thieves) last night (which is very good) and this movie’s trailer was on the DVD.
*updates Netflix cue*
The kid who plays John Cusack’s son, actor Jamie Anderson, does a fine job.
Also the scenery is awesome… supposedly in Washington State, but I didn’t check the credits at the end on where those scenes were actually filmed. Wiki says Germany? USA?
