Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

anasofia_gfr It's sad that an action movie which is supposed to leave you at the edge of your seat turns into a comedy. I was with a group of friends watching this movie on the TV and we spent the whole time saying "what a terrible lousy movie". It has scenes that make absolutely no sense and seem to have been copied from other action movies. At the end of the movie we were all confused about the plot and why were those scenes even there. Then the part where the Portuguese actors try to speak English is so lame, saying "fek" and "fok" which made us laugh hysterically... The love scenes between Julia and Peter were so forced and fake... The acting was so so bad.... Then the unnecessary nudity it's just something they filmed to put on the trailer so that it would catch the attention of possible viewers... The only reason I can find for the lousiness of this movie is that they didn't watch it before they released it for the premiere, because there is no one with a normal working brain that could watch that movie and not say "what a piece of crap!". If you want to see a good Portuguese movie in the same genre try Call Girl.

edgarpenaa I saw the popularity that this movie was having and well i decided to give it a try and watch it . .I think this a good start for the Portuguese movie industry because i had never seen nothing of this kind in Portuguese movies and i can say that Portugal is quite close to achieve a good quality production of movies, however this movie comparing with the world movies simply isn't good. . the story is not creative, the parts that contain nudity didn't had to bee so much and it shouldn't had always that annoying music when they were having sex, the explosion of the car was terrible and there were lots of fails when someone was killed because it seemed that the blood was dry .By the way about the acting Pedro Granger is an awful actor never seen such a bad representation, and i'm tired to see Nicolau Brayner in all Portuguese movies it's just annoying .

ricardo-abreu-1 Worst movie I saw in months. Theatrical settings, extremely painful bad acting, ripping-of of American movie clichés, terrible soundtrack and a script that seemed to be written by a 15 year old.The movie itself is a waste of time. Sound effects seem edited from other movies. I have no idea what the budget was for this flick, but whatever it was I assure you: it looks a very very low budget. Acting seems like amateur local groups. Even the camera work is bad.A tip for Portuguese directors: Showing breasts IS NOT the way to sell a movie!

BernardoLima Contrato has a lot of potential, unfortunately the film is a victim of his own amateurism.As far as Portuguese cinema goes this is definitely a step forward but we can't seem to be able to shake some clichés. Pedro lima plays Peter Mcshade, a hit-man with a very strong sense of ethics that finds himself involved in a conspiracy. The plot is actually quite interesting and you get drawn into it as the story builds up and there's also a nice little plot twist.So, where does the movie fail? Well, for starters, sometimes it doesn't come trough as very believable, specially when the characters speak English...its a poor attempt to make the film a bit more mainstream. Plus, in order to give some swagger to the characters the writers decided to put the actors swearing every two lines...and this does nothing for the movie but to emphasize the amateurism. All in all this is a weak movie but two thumbs up for the effort and good performance by Pedro Lima.6/10
