The movie "Contract To Kill" absolutely did not do well with critics and moviegoers alike. It is even considered one of the worst, if not the worst movie Steven Seagal ever did. It may be quite harsh but critics seem to not have a single good word about the movie.
The movie which had its release on Dec. 9, 2016 registered extremely low on Rotten Tomatoes. This by far is one of the lowest ranking the year 2016 has ever seen on the site.
The movie "Contract To Kill" had zero for its rating. Its average rating is an unbelievable 1.2 out of a possible 10. It also registered 9 percent, representing those who liked the movie. There is practically almost nothing astounding, even mediocre about the movie as the ratings and rankings are almost non-existent.
What happened? What went wrong with the movie? Many may have the same question as this is unbelievably low, in fact, the lowest for the entire 2016. This may even be one of the lowest ranking movie for the past five years.
Steven Seagal has proven himself to be one of the best Hollywood actors, starring in well-made and impressive films. However, the movie "Contract To Kill" did not do him justice at all. It also did not do the rest of the cast and crew any justice.
Frank Scheck of Hollywood Reported and a Top Critic said that longtime fans will avoid the movie and instead dig out their DVDs for old copies of "Undersiege" and "Above The Law." Odie Henderson of RogerEbert.com and another Top Critic said that Steven Seagal is no longer limber enough to whip all that's flung at him.
Clearly, Steven Seagal is not in his prime to pull off action stunts as he did before. The acting was definitely there but the action factor is obviously lackluster based on the feedback of critics.
As added by Movie Insider, the movie also stars Russell Wong, Jemma Dallender and many more. The movie is directed and written by Keoni Waxman.
