The Contract / Film synopsis

If you're looking for a high-octane thriller with fresh thrills, you might be left wanting. But if you appreciate strong performances and a touch of social awareness amidst the action, ``The Contract'' might be worth your time.
The only thing this movie has going for it is the scenery, and even that wasn't authentic, having been filmed in Bulgaria, not Washington State.
