    Pausing dialog in a boring film

    What is the difference between good and bad filmmaking. I'm sure it is several things, but if there is anything I always notice in films clearly not made by our average professional is pausing between dialogs. The idea behind the film is not all that bad, and compared to what the actors had to work with they did OK. But the camera work or cutting is very bad indeed. There are so long pauses between the dialogs, that it seems that each actor said their sentence and then the other actor waited for a cue in order to say his part. The film is also full of strange statements about what the characters are about to do next. "I'm going to lie down now, as I am very tired" etc. Not to mention the big holes in the storytelling, with half of the story just not making any sense. Hardly worth watching, unless you like C-Movies, and not worth writing more about. 2/10

    Nothing to recommend

    This film is bad & I mean awfully bad in every single aspect. The story of contract killers is old hat by now, This film must have been scripted by Western Union-------The next scene is telegraphed beforehand. The acting is below atrocious by all concerned especially by Billy Dee Williams....He either was on a controlled substance or in desperate financial straits to take this role of an Politician who is more corrupt than the assassins. Normally even in the worst films, there are good production values,nothing is even fair, not even the music & the sound is atrocious as well. Rating 1/2* 19 out of 100 points 1 on IMDb

    Billy Dee must be broke

    This is among the five worst films I have ever seen. Billy Dee must be flat busted. Oh how the mighty have fallen. This mess is boring, poorly acted, poorly scripted, pointless and a waste of good film stock. I can't even think of any clever insults for it. It's the pits.

    Make a contract out for the filmmakers!

    First, I should point out that I have nothing against low budget movies. In fact, I watch them all the time. I've found that a low budget movie can overcome its financial limitations with stuff like ambition and careful planning.

    "The Contract" is a low budget movie, but it's more than that. It happens to be a BAD low budget movie. It fails in just about every way you can think of. Take the production values, for example. There's a weird made-for-TV feeling throughout. (Make that a weird made-for-Canadian-TV feeling, which is even worse.) Throughout, it looks like there was little to no effort to spruce up the locations - it seems that they set up the camera, shot the scene, and packed up in less than an hour.

    The action scenes are just as bad. The awkward use of slow motion is used throughout to try and spice them up, but it just makes the scenes more clunky to the eye. There is no additional effort in trying to make the shooting and hand-to-hand combat scenes exciting, it's just point and shoot by the camera.

    The script has a number of questionable aspects to it, ranging from the protagonists killing relatively innocent people to the heroine's boyfriend committing actions either dumb or unbelievable.

    I could go on for some time pointing out the flaws of this movie, such as the songs on the soundtrack being some of the WORST songs I've listened to in an action film. But the worst thing about the movie is that it's not an entertaining mess. All this ineptness is made to be incredibly dull and boring. I had to pause the movie several times while watching it because I was finding it unbearable to watch. There is no reason I can think of to see this movie.

    not great but likeable

    The acting here is weak at times, but the story is fairly interesting. This is a low-budget film with some likeable actors. The camera likes Johanna Black, and she does a good job in the lead role, showing a soft side to her boyfriend, who gets dragged into the mess, while doing a decent turn as an action heroine. The story has its weak points, but I think it may be a sign of things to come from Black, much as Above the Law was for Steven Seagal (not that she's going to be an action star). In fact, there are some similarities in the two stories. I gave it a high score, because I liked it despite some wooden acting in the smaller roles and one or two problems with the writing. If felt like a Hong Kong Jackie Chan or Jet Li movie, where you just ignore the bad parts and enjoy what's left (hopefully it's more than half of the run time--in this case, it is).

      The way Little Tony Vecchio (Vecchio meaning old man) was positioned dead with the cigar in his mouth appears identical to the real life assassination of Bonanno crime family boss Carmine Galante (1910 -1979), on Thursday the twelfth of July, 1979. He was killed just as he had ended his lunch upon an open patio at the Italian-American Restaurant known as Joe and Mary's, 205 Knickerbocker Ave, Bushwick, Brooklyn. There is a famous photo of Mr. Galante lying in a pool of blood on the ground, a cigar still between his teeth. It could be the producers of this film decided to model the killing shown here at the start on that historical scene.
    • Blooper
      Hannah, a professional assassin, kills three men early in the film. Like all good killers, she wore a pair of plastic surgical gloves for the occasion. The problem is, after the shooting is over, she proceeds to remove the gloves and leave them behind as she escapes via a nearby fire exit - leaving a perfectly good set of fingerprints on the doorknob.
