Contract to Kill

No review content available.

John Harmon (Steven Seagal) former CIA agent who worked for the DEA (not sure how that works or how many pay checks he gets) comes out of retirement to find the location of a meeting between the Sonora Cartel and Islamic terrorist from Yemen (?). The meeting is to smuggle in drugs and maybe a terrorist or two to activate those sleeper cells. Harmon forms a team to go after them which consists of FBI agent Zara Hayek (Jemma Dallender) and drone operator Matthew Sharp (Russell Wong). The meeting is in Istanbul. (Filmed in Romania which looks nothing like Istanbul...just go with it.) This is another goatee film with Seagal spending the bulk of the film sitting in front of a computer or driving a Bitchin' Camaro. He does have a couple of fight scenes which consists mostly of grabbing an arm and twisting it...no leg kicks. The heavy hand-to-hand stuff is done by his partners. Seagal has entered his "work smarter, not harder" phase of his espionage career as he engages in PSYOP and prattles Genghis Khan philosophy. Guide: F-word. Nudity (Jemma Dallender), Implied sex

Continuing my plan to watch every Steven Seagal movie in order, I just watched Contract To Kill (2016) This is my second of Seagals 6 movies, yes 6 movies released in 2016. All released in the May & September of 2016. This is another one that sucked, It's plot of you can call it that, was insanely hard to follow. Why is this story so complicated? I have no idea. I eventually lost interest before I started looking at my phone. The only other thing I have to say about this movie is, I think it's time Seagal stops having sex scenes in his movies. Watching him fondle a much younger hot babe is about as awful as it gets, and his sex scene with Dallender is just vomit inducing. The scene might have worked if Dallender and Seagal had actual sexual chemistry (Like Eastwood and Russo in In The Line Of Fire) but since they don't the whole thing is just horrible to watch and at this point I turned it off. This movie is a waste of electricity.

In this movie Steven has a relationship with someone at-least half his age and there is some sexual content in this movie too. I found that pretty disturbing actually. The actors in the movie sound like they're reading up a script. The set of the movie is default American-Patriotic. Steven is hardly opening is mouth as he is speaking, making his long dialogues difficult to follow. A handful of elements in the film are repeated about 3 times, also a piece of an airplane blowing out of the sky. The first time is good. The second time is a tad annoying. Every other time is just an insult to the person looking the movie. In several situations you expect some appropriate "speed of handling" would be needed and expected yet the actors walk at a pace like they're in no rush at all. Just doesn't add up to the tiny bit of realism that you are hoping to find in the movie that already has this unrealistic story line. It's a definite NO for me...
