The Contractor

Chris Pine stars in this movie that we have all seen before. He is a special ops soldier whose injury prevents him from active duty. So he reaches out to a friend to get a high paying, private contractor job. But it goes wrong, and it is unclear who the good guys are. So Pine has to rely on only himself and his personal ethical code to make things right... or at least not wrong. What is interesting about this movie is the pacing. Yes, there are action scenes, but it shies away from 90 minutes of non-stop action that is common. We actually get to endure with Pine as he struggles. In this case, the slow pace is effective.

3 stars (out of 5)
