The Contract

It’s on.” With that statement, Morgan Freeman opens The Contract, a tale that intertwines a dysfunctional father and a professional killer, one trying to protect his son and get to the authorities, the other trying to get back to his team and hit his target, and neither side willing to budge an inch. These opposing characters, in the capable hands of Freeman and John Cusack, are incredibly strong. It’s just a shame the story that puts them together is considerably weaker.
