Paramount Pictures has unveiled a trailer for their action-thriller The Contractor and it finds Chris Pine hunted and on the run when a mission goes awry.
Per the film’s official synopsis, “Chris Pine stars in the action-packed thriller as Special Forces Sergeant James Harper, who is involuntarily discharged from the Army and cut-off from his pension. In debt, out of options, and desperate to provide for his family, Harper contracts with a private underground military force. When the very first assignment goes awry, the elite soldier finds himself hunted and on the run, caught in a dangerous conspiracy and fighting to stay alive long enough to get home and uncover the true motives of those who betrayed him.“ The film also stars Kiefer Sutherland, Ben Foster, Gillian Jacobs, and Eddie Marsan.
Originally titled Violence of Action, the film is directed by Tarik Saleh, who is making his English language directorial debut. Originally it was supposed to come out via STX, but it seems like it was sold to Paramount at some point, who are giving it a day and date VOD release along with a theatrical run. According to Deadline, the film will debut later this year on Showtime and Paramount Plus as an exclusive. Definitely a sign of a changing marketplace. Penned by J.P. Davis, the film is slated for a limited release in theaters, on digital, and On-Demand on April 1, 2022.
