Robbie Adams Anyone claiming that this is a good movie should have their head examined. It's obvious and clear as day that Steven Seagal as an 'action star' is over... And it's been over for more than a decade. He is far too fat and old to continue making these straight to video trash movies. Wearing the same glasses in every single movie and the same suit to try and hide his extremely obese frame, (and it's not working) the fight scenes which involve Seagal are a joke. So much editing which translate to the fact the man cannot even raise his hands properly anymore. It's time for him to give this up and go on an Atkins diet. If I could give this 'movie' -10 rating, I would.

Lewis Paterson Another few months, and another Seagal DTV movie. I must say, things are looking worrying for old Steven - he sounds incredibly croaky in this movie and fatter than ever before. Guy needs to sort his health out or one of the all-time greats might die...Aside from that, you're probably wondering if this is worth watching if you enjoy a bit of Seagal. The answer is no.The plot...something about Mexican cartels making a deal with Muslim extremists and Seagal and his team have to stop it. Really isn't much to talk about here. There seems to be a deliberate attempt to touch on current topical events, but it fails really, especially Seagal's ending monologue. Not even worth me expanding on it. It's just poor. Very poor.Directing and cinematography is alright for a Seagal DTV, although there is a massive bit of text that fills up the screen every time they go to a different location to tell us where it is which looks quite silly. Quick cuts manage to cover up any use of body doubles for Seagal. Keoni Waxman has directed Seagal DTVs plenty of times and has shown himself to be capable enough so there shouldn't be concern on this front anyway. Oh yeah, and there's quite a bit of green screen, but that's not exactly unexpected.The characters and acting...yeah, they leave a lot to be desired. No character is memorable, at all, and everyone just seems to be acting like they're waiting for the director to shout "cut" and they can get their paycheck and move on. Not even a modicum of effort from Russell "irrelevant since the 90s" Wong, or Jemma "I'm here to have my breasts fondled by Steven" Dallender, or anyone else for that matter.The movie is also largely devoid of action until the latter parts, and well, it isn't even any good. I know you can't expect much from Seagal these days, but you'd expect the other actors to try and do something but they just don't.Don't waste your time. It's a boring mess that is completely forgettable. Seagal's made much better DTV movies, so why even bother with this?

subxerogravity So in Contract to Kill Stephen Seagal travels to Turkey to take on some terrorist drug dealers, which I thought was interesting as I can't remember when the last time Istanbul was in the movie as the center for espionage and trafficking (No Wait it was Taken 2), but as it turns out, the Mexicans are still the drug traffickers and the Arabs are still the terrorist. Oh well, so much for something different. At least it's a different setting I guess.Seagal plays...I don't know the character's name and let's be honest, it doesn't really matter, cause I can't remember the last time he did not play a retired CIA agent living in(Insert any foreign country) who was brought back into the game because his fat tired ass is somehow that good at stopping the crappy enemy he's going after.I should have known where the movie was going, as Seagal's introduction included Steven spending 20 mins being interviewed by a CIA agent who's trying to convince Steven (And the rest of us) that only the big man with the keg can save the world or something. Then as an extra added bonus Steven sees two gringos who can't keep their hands off some waitress and goes over and some how beats them both while sitting on his ass, then he turns around and puts his hands all over the waitress who could be his granddaughter.Seagal puts together a team that features dude from Vanishing Son, Russel Wong, who looks like he could have been more impressive in this film if he did not have to tone it down to make Seagal look better.The third man on the team is some eye candy whose role as a covert black bag agent makes no sense instead for being eye candy. Seagal treats her like she's been in the game as long as him but she doesn't even look like she's past 30. Her one purpose is to make old fat Seagal look like he's still got it. There's one part where Seagal has a small love scene with this chick. Normally I'm a fan of needless nudity from hot girls, but it just puts more focus on the fact that Seagal is just an old man who wants the world to believe that he can still get the girl. Not only that but this "experience capable agent" gets kidnapped, so that Seagal can rescue her.Some Seagal style action, but not much with Seagal repeating the same moves over and over and using multi angles and fast cuts to try to make it more exciting. It's starting to get lame now that it's 30 or so years in the action movie biz. Seagal has never come up to an opponent as skilled as him in Aikido to at least be able to make him stumble. Not bleed or fall down just push him Back a little, that's all. Yes, Seagal is a very big menacing dude, he still is, but come on.This may not have been such a problem, but for the most part, fat Seagal spends a lot of time sitting down in the movie. I mean literally sitting in a car, sitting at a desk, and sitting while doing some of the fight scenes. It tells me something about how lazy the filmmakers are putting this together.Man, there was so much talking, and it was all though guy talk, too. By the good guys, by the bad guys. I think Seagal, I think action and in an action film tough guy talk should be minimal to one liners, not these over glorified speeches about how awesome they are. I'll give credit that one speech that Seagal himself had with one of the bad guys that was pretty good, but it was only one in a sea of really really bad ones, so it did nothing to make the film better.Half way through you realize it's an espionage movie. Not really Seagal's cup of tea and not what I came to the movies to watch him do, and unfortunately for Seagal, he did nothing to change my mind.Overall Contract to Kill feels like it's screaming Steven should retire. I don't think any one loves Seagal so much, you are cool wasting 90 mins watching him sit and talk with the enemy than go for it. They're better Fat Seagal action movies than this one. Find that one over Contract to Kill.

Deepak The contract has been put out on a triple cheeseburger and Steven Seagal is here to collect the bounty and everybody is stoked on him about it. It's clear Steven Seagal is no longer limber enough to whip all the ass that's flung at him...As a result, Contract to Kill looks like it's edited by a seeing-eye dog, you can't tell who's doing what to whom. lolSteven Segal..and nothing else. if they got money to waste, I think a few charities could use the money because I doubt these flicks make any money at allAs usual,a lazy,by the numbers effort from Seagal.
