Why watch this film?
With Chris Pine ('Star Trek') headlining the cast, 'The Contractor' is an action movie at its core, following all the conventions of the genre with shooting, fighting and explosions. However, the plot, which is about a military man who is removed from the marines and then joins a paramilitary organization to support his family in the only way he knows, hits the mark by bringing up controversial points and provoking the viewer, going beyond the obvious and preventing the movie from being just another generic action production, pleasing a wider audience. It's worth keeping an eye on director Tarik Saleh ('Metropia'), who doesn't settle for filming scenes in a banal way, looking for inventive and daring means.

From the same director
The Nile Hilton Incident
Imagine a political thriller in the intense Hollywood tradition like 'Three Days of the Condor' or 'Snowden', but taken to a social context rarely explored from within by Western cinema, generally limited to a supposed heroism as seen in 'Argo'. The result is 'Crimen en El Cairo' ('The Nile Hilton Incident'), from Swedish director of Egyptian origin, Tarik Saleh ('Metropía), awarded at the Sundance Film Festival 2017. With a story partially inspired by the murder of the Lebanese singer Suzanne Tamim in Dubai, the film takes place weeks before the 2011 Egyptian revolution, in the midst of the social and political agitation of the Arab Spring (between 2010 and 2012). It is an exciting exploration of corruption, guilt, and rage that has plagued Muslim nations of Africa.
Action
The Fall Guy
The Fall Guy is one of those films that seem designed to have it all and thus please the broadest audience possible. Based on the 1980s series of the same name and directed by David Leitch (former stunt double and now director of films like Bullet Train and Deadpool 2), the movie follows Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling), a down-on-his-luck stunt double who must investigate the mysterious disappearance of actor Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), as this would ruin the first movie of his beloved, filmmaker Jody (Emily Blunt). And the major problem with this movie is that it tries to be everything: romantic comedy, action comedy, Hollywood satire, crime mystery, and more, hampered by the magnitude of its own ambitions, as well as an overloaded and unclear script. You can enjoy it as an insight into the world behind action cinema, and for the charisma of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.
Money
In this high-stakes action thriller, two pharmaceutical executives are about to get away with stealing $5 million until an uninvited houseguest derails their plans and holds them hostage during an all-night standoff. Featuring a powerful ensemble cast, including Jesse Williams, Kellan Lutz and Jess Weixler, MONEY is a chilling lesson in greed that will keep you guessing until the very end!
Deadpool & Wolverine
Wolverine is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth, Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy.
