“Pine is excellent as the lovelorn, regretful rogue, even if most of Metz’s direction seems to be for him and Newton to gaze at each other across the table as ‘sexfully’ as possible. It’s the kind of role you could see Redford playing 40 years ago in a movie that would’ve had a larger scale and a few more big twists. Still, this is a four-star film for turtleneck fetishists.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 04/07/2022

THE CONTRACTOR
“What began as a drama about the plight of our veterans veers off into nonsense. All the evocative details about post-military life in America are dumped in favor of improbable machine gun battles in bustling, European locales where henchmen can’t hit the side of a barn. It’s like if Coming Home suddenly shape-shifted into a Liam Neeson revenge picture.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 04/07/2022
