100 Things I learned from The Contract


Pretty simple game, tell what you learned after watching this movie. I'll start-

-Ex para-military guys like to play chess in the middle of the wilderness on their laptops.

-Climbing down a sheer cliff in driving rain is possible, just do it carefully.

-When you're hiking in the wilderness with your son, proceed to take into custody a potentially very dangerous convict.

-Snipers are terrible shots.

If a rich guy doesn't like abortions hire assassins.

Its no wonder that this movie got such a low rating. Based on the responses of many posters to this thread, you can see they just didn't pay attention to the movie.





There is no flavor text!

How the hell is anyone supposed to buy that you can fire from a chopper and have an updraft alter your shot to hit another guy TO HIS LEFT out of the five people present hundreds of feet from you? Has the scriptwriter even ever fired a gun?

If you devise a plan to assasinate a billionaire that involves killing his son so he shows his face at a funeral where you can snipe him, make sure you hire a group of four additional top military guys to help you. One can take some photos you don't intend to use, one can drive a car, one can play chess and the other can um.. umm... er, bitch and moan about how there's no exit plan.

If you're a top assassin wanted by the government and you wake up in a hospital after an accident, handcuffed by one wrist to the hospital bed, don't see this as the easiest point to create a ruse and escape. Instead, make a phone call to advise your associates that you need rescuing, but definitely not from the hospital where it would be the closest, soonest and easiest place get you. No, they need to wait until you are released from hospital into state marshall escort, then telepathically guess the time and place you will be and go to significant capital expense to put together a rescue plan that involves killing more people and, if it goes wrong, could have fatal consequences for you or at least make rescuing you a lot more difficult.

If you are stood quiet and still behind a load of shady trees 80ft away from a poor sighted guy who is on the other side of a wide flowing river with a naked blonde girl right in front of him, he will immediately see you and demand to know what you are looking at.

If you've spent the whole film tagging along with the mercenary team, slowing them down by constantly playing chess on your laptop, suddenly become useful by receiving a random anonymous email from someone that bizzarely includes a promo video of the park you happen to be in, helpfully including an ending shot of where you targets are hanging out.

- if you wear a pink rubber bracelet, an assassin will immediately assume your wife died from cancer.
- if you are a wanted man being hunted by the FBI, and you wish to deliver a message to the head of the team chasing you, rather than doing it via telephone, be sure to do it IN PERSON in a cafe while 'disguised' with a pair of sunglasses.
- if you are a government agent and the man you are looking for comes into a cafe to give you a message, don't try to arrest him or call for help, just meekly let him walk out.
- Telephones in remote rural cabins only work during the summer season
- If you are being pursued by hitmen across a moraine, make sure you waste lots of time and energy by pushing over a wooden footpath. They definitely won't be able to follow you by just climbing over the rocks
- Gay men wearing camp neckerchieves are keen to have lots of sex with attractive women
- Stockbrokers can lose their licence to practise, if they damage government property
