Contract to Kill (2016)
Harmon is a CIA/DEA enforcer investigating Arab terrorists captured in Mexico. With his team--seductive FBI agent Zara and spy-drone pilot Sharp--he flies to Istanbul and uncovers a brutal plot: Islamic extremists plan to use Sonora drug-smuggling routes to bring deadly weapons, and leaders, into the U.S. To prevent an attack on America, Harmon must turn these two savage forces against one another before his time--and his luck--run out.

It's been a few years since I've seen one of Steven Seagal's newer films, but CONTRACT TO KILL ticks all of the disappointing boxes and shows that nothing has changed. The portly star once again re-teams with Keoni Waxman for another story shot in Eastern Europe. Seagal plays the leader of a special forces squad tasked with tackling Islamic terrorists, and as usual he wanders around and occasionally beats people to death. Helping him are an Asian-American guy and an actress from I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE 2. This is a faintly watchable film that screams cheapness throughout, and the choppy fight choreography, in which Seagal's stand-in is all too apparent, is a cheat.
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.
What? is what i have to say about this movie i barely understood the point of this movie, I would have to say the special effects as well as whoever wrote the script used some words that confuses the audience in one part some guy says brother but he meant it as a friend usage not as a real brother it got me confused. I will have to say the best part was honestly Jemma Dallender and the the first half of the fight choreography.
What the hell did I just watch?? It's actually been a while since I watched a "new" Seagal film and this atrocity is the reason why. First I have to say that it was as if I was watching 5 different movies at the same time that all had no relationship to each other. Except for the fact that Seagal got to hit people in each version. I mean many of us watched Seagal to see him perform his unique brand of martial arts but if that's what you are hoping for in this disaster, then surprise!!.... he does a little but it's mostly close ups of fists with allot of sound effects. Gone are the days of seeing Seagal actually fighting. OK, so he's put on some weight. Well, allot of weight and every shot of him was carefully crafted to make sure we didn't see how huge he has become. But, like everything else in this film, it didn't work and his bulk was obvious and embarrassing. Now I haven't kept track of Seagal's health but did something happen with his voice? It seemed painful for him to speak and his voice was very raspy. I sincerely hope he is OK, but please Mr. Seagal call back this film and burn all the masters.
