National Ra'eesa Pather Ramaphosa under pressure to support reparations for apartheid victims. President Cyril Ramaphosa has been urged to release grants for apartheid victims, as recommended by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Analysis James Hamill For a long time South Africa thought it had a Jacob Zuma problem. In fact its got a systemic ANC problem.
Ray Keene John Cusack , a father who wants to redeem himself in the eyes of his son Jamie Anderson , is trying to bring Carden Morgan Freeman , a world-class assassin to justice. All the while, he must protect his son and evade the assassin's team who are methodically hunting them down in the wilderness. Yes, true, but also: While adding new dimensions to the term predictable, and not without some hilarious unintentional comedy the choppercrash , Contract sends the viewer on a journey following a trail filled with all the standard chase story- checklist items Let's sabotage a bridge, lets almost die hanging from a steep cliff in a nasty storm, lets get rescued from this situation by the bad guy, lets portrayal the local police as a bunch of hicks.
The Contract - Box Office Mojo
The two-star cast Freeman and Cusack does its best with what they are offered which came straight out of the Lazy Screenwriters Book of Good-guy Bad-guy Dialog but cannot begin to save this serious contender for Worst Execution of Chase-the-rabbit. Right from the point where Cusack decides to be an ex-cop-hero and irrationally endangers the lives of both him and his son by not letting Freeman go, the viewer has to stretch enormous lengths to suspend disbelief.
But nothing in this movie helps the unfortunate viewer in achieving this. This will continue throughout the rest of the story when for example Cusack and his son tell Freeman their names which is so annoyingly dumb that any sympathy that was left for their characters or the film, is instantly shattered.
The Contract
Adding to this some painfully weak crosses and double-crosses, the formulaic and contrived romance further on and some truly horrible acting by the support cast, one is truly left to wonder why this movie ever saw the green light in the first place. This film watches like a bad episode of the A-team. Did Cusack and Freeman lose a gambling-bet and were they out of money so badly they didn't even bother to read the script?

Widower Ray Keene John Cusack , a high school gym teacher, ex-cop, and well-intentioned but not very able dad to Chris Jamie Anderson , belatedly realizes the need to bond with his son when the latter gets caught smoking marijuana , and takes him hiking in the wilderness. Carden is being driven through that same wilderness by the marshals, but his men stage a rescue attempt. Most of the marshals end up dead; the car crashed and the surviving marshal asks Keene to take the prisoner to the authorities and then dies of his injuries.
Ray and Chris have to get Carden out of the wilderness and hand him over to the authorities. Carden's men, highly skilled ex-military thugs, track them down to rescue Carden and kill the Keenes. In a tense standoff in a cabin in the woods, Carden's friends turn up and Keene agrees to let Carden go. Just at that moment, one of Carden's thugs bursts in and punches Chris, causing Keene to panic and kill both thugs, sustaining critical wounds in the process.
Carden escapes, taking Chris as a hostage while Sandra and Keene are rescued by the local police. Feeling defeated and resting at home, a televised news report echoes an earlier conversation about Carden's job description with the key phrase "exterminating obstacles to progress", making Keene aware of Carden's intended target.
