Contract to Kill is very much business as usual for Steven Seagal as he plays yet another rogue law enforcer, badly, on the hunt for whatever stock bad guys are floating around action cinema at the time.
The plot is intriguing enough with Terrorists wanting to use the smuggling routes of Mexican drug cartels, but the execution is beyond terrible with a screenplay that was so desperate to show off what little research has been done into the subject matter(s), that it had no time left for developing characters or any kind of optimisation as entire five minute conversations in Contract to Kill are nothing more than a heated debate between two near unintelligible beings who believe in the exact same conspiracy theories.
The action scenes are the worst I've ever seen in a Seagal film, ranging from shaky cam nausea to erratically edited montages of close ups to mask the sad fact that Seagal just can't go anymore. He can barely even speak now with his raspy voice suggesting some degree of exhaustion, from talking. I would feel sad for him, but those multiple sexual allegations clear me in utero of those bad feels.
Contract to Kill can't even have the dubious honour of being the worst Seagal film I've seen. That goes to Out for a Kill and this Infowars crap doesn't even come close to having the comedic appeal of that 2003 disasterpiece. This one's just another of several tiresome retreads that will inevitably become more desperate with each passing attempt until Seagal attains some self-awareness and calls it a day.
