Reviews

IGN -
The Contractor may have an underwhelming conclusion, but the journey to get there is an emotional one, with a strong performance by Chris Pine.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Director Tarik Saleh, whose previous feature was the excellent Cairo-set neo-noir The Nile Hilton Incident, stages the shoot-’em-ups and explosions effectively, but it’s the film’s quiet exchanges that carry the most visceral punch.

Variety -
Being a solid cut above average is good enough, given so much formulaic mediocrity among thrillers cluttering the streaming market.
|
|
The Film Stage -
While billed as an action film, The Contractor proves more suspense thriller in the end.
|
|
Slashfilm -
The Contractor challenges expectations in many ways, it just never goes quite far enough.
