Simply Perfect

How sad is this?

Best movie ever!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

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 .

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!

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

My theory is that they tried for a good Portuguese film and ended up doing a bad American one. Not even the nudity can save it. The rhythm is awful, I heard people snoring on the cinema, the acting is unnaturally forced and the plot tries so hard to resemble an American action film (with scenes in Afganisthan hahah)that it becomes laughable on scenes it wasn't supposed to be funny at all. And all the cars are Skodas!! What sort of hit-man drives a Skoda?! But José Wallenstein is very good as a drag queen and Nicolau Breyner does the job as an actor, no surprises there! I understand this film should be seen as a fantasy, the director's fantasy of making an "action movie", but it doesn't deliver anything worth the 5 euros you pay to see it!
