Chris Pine, Ben Foster, Kiefer Sutherland star in 'The Contractor,' a controlled character study disguised as a spy thriller.
When James lands in Berlin, “The Contractor” transforms from an American family drama into a Euro spy thriller. He’s tasked with trailing a scientist working on viral pathogens and told he has ties to terrorist organizations with designs on releasing a bioweapon. James doesn’t blink when he, Mike, and their crew break into the lab to steal research.
What elevates “The Contractor” is the incredible cast. Pine is excellent, whether he’s in motion — swiftly executing the technical skills he knows so well — or in repose, often in physical or mental anguish. But Pine is never better than when he’s opposite magnetic character actor Foster. The two played brothers in Taylor Sheridan and David Mackenzie’s heist filmand as soon as Foster rolls in, “The Contractor” instantly becomes a better, and more complex, film.
