Is there a better way to spend a Friday night than watching the latest and best action movie flick? The Contractor (formerly known as Violence of Action) reunites Hell or High Water stars Chris Pine and Ben Foster as two former Special Forces operatives who turn to contract work after being involuntarily discharged from the Army.
Think Jason Bourne. Think The Accountant. Think Jack Ryan. Think amazing action-thriller extravaganza. That’s what The Contactor promises.
To celebrate the upcoming movie, we’re giving a few lucky readers the chance to win movie tickets to see The Contractor on the big screen.
What is the film about?
After being involuntarily discharged from the U.S. Special Forces, James Harper joins a private contracting organization alongside his best friend and under the command of a fellow veteran in order to support his family. Overseas on a covert mission, Harper must evade those trying to kill him while making his way back home.
The mission is not what it seems. Watch the movie trailer.
“It’s easy to kill,” one man says in the trailer, “but it’s much harder to survive.” There’s no shortage of action in the trailer – which shows Pine jumping off a bridge, dodging bullets and, of course, escaping huge explosions. “We gave them our minds, our bodies, and our spirits,” Pine as James says. “They chewed us up and spit us out.”
Who acts in it?
Directed by Tarik Saleh, The Contractor‘s cast includes Chris Pine, Ben Foster, Kiefer Sutherland, Gillian Jacobs, Nina Hoss.
When does it release?
Catch The Contractor in cinemas on 18 March 2022.

BIG SCREENS ALWAYS THE BEST COMFORTING RELAXING ENTERTAINING AWAYFROM HOME CHORES
The big screen gives an experience that takes me to a different place. It’s where my mind needs to focus on only 1 thing while the rest of the world is forgotten for just a moment. I could do with a moment in the cinema while enjoying a movie with Chris Pine in it.
For the action all on a big screen the sound effects and just having a date night with my hubby
To be immersed in the action, with the big image and the booming surround sound
I’m a big fan of Chris Pine and Ben Foster and watched their movies together such as Hell or High Water and The Finest Hours.They make a great team and would really love to see them team up again in this one.
Because there’s really no better way to experience a film for the first time.
I would love to win take my boyfriend out he just love action movie’s and we haven’t been outside in a well so the would definitely be the best movie to go watch
This would just definitely be the best movie to watch in the cinemas, please pick me 😭😭
I would love to win tickets to take my wife out we haven’t been anywhere recently due to funds and work, so I think this would be a great chance to have a lovely movie night and it’s best to watch a action movie on big screen 🥺🥺
Watching movies on the big screens evokes emotion, it allows me to truly watch and join the journey of the characters. No distractions just your undivided attention on a movie that has you on edge with all these emotions.
Escapism. I want to sit back in a dark theatre and be totally immersed in the plot, lights and sounds.
There is no better way than to watch a movie on the big screen. Nothing can compare great action scenes on the big screen.
Its ALWAYS better on the big screen!!
This will make a good Sibling Date night, My brother is tired of watching Chick flicks.
At least this is not restricted to 2 cities only.
It is always better on the big screen !!! ALL OR NOTHING!
My favorite thing is to watch action movies with my partner on the big screen! No better way to watch and be transported right into the film! We wanna be there!
Johannesburg please would love to see this movie as we haven’t in a long time🙏
Johannesburg please would love to see this movie🙏
Johannesburg 🙏
Chris Pine always delivers on the action & after seeing the trailer of the stakes in this one, he’s gonna go into the megayield. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen him lead a movie, will be cool to see where he takes this.
Seems like a good, fun film to enjoy on the big screen. Thank you

Would love to watch it with my husband as I come back from holidays and he stayed behind with the kid because of school. Johannesburg only
Big action movies like this belong on the big screen, its the only way to fully immerse yourself in the experience of the movie!!!
Movies are always better on the big screen!
Pre screening is exciting as you have the privilege to see movie before release
Love pre screening as it’s more exciting and you get the cance to see it before it gets released
popcorn, a big screen, a good movie I mean I don’t see why not
I need to hear the score by Alex Belcher, and the best way to do so is on the big screen bbz
I would like to watch The Contractor on the big screen as it is an experience that creates memories and because when you are there watching a movie, you know you are getting the latest and greatest in audio and visual technology.
Nothing beats watching a movie on the big screen, it would be so awesome to catch this at the cinema
I work from home….and we’ve been locked down…. so my nice clothes and make up need an outing just as desperately as I do – and this seems like the perfect event! :)
Would be a perfect birthday gift as it’s my birthday weekend and I could take my hubby with (“,)
Chris Pine is an awesome actor, should be great seeing him on the big screen in this action movie
Nothing like a good old fashioned movie date night and I’m sure it will be a great movie to boot.
Action movies are the best to watch on the big screen. It is the best way to see all the special effects that cannot be justified on a television screen.
I havent been out much since March 2020 including the movies. My comeback to the big screen (hahaha) would definitely be an action movie and what better movie than The Contract with incredible actors.
Oh wow – I wouldnt miss the opportunity to watch “Mr Designated Survivor” and Chris Pine on the big screen.
Always better on the big screen with popcorn
Need a contractor for my tough working week
I would love to watch the contractor on the big screen as it will be an awesome break from my studies and a great date night for my husband and I who I know will love this movie
I would love to watch the contractor on the bug screen as it will be an awesome break from my studies and a great date night for my husband and I who I know will love this movie

Watching a movie in the cinema is just the best experience. And I believe this movie filled with action will be 10x better on a big screen 🙆♀️
I would love to win tickets to watch this movie on the big screen with my friends since we have not been to the cinema yet since lock down stated
Escapism. I want to forget about all my problems and totally get immersed in the plot. Cinemas are great fot this. Please let me win.
Big screen, surround sound, what more can you ask for?
ITS MUCH MUCH BETTER ON THE BIG SCREEN BECAUSE :
TIME TO RELAX & AWAY FROM STRESSFUL 24HRS PER DAY HOME DUTIES
WHEN RETIRED NEVER A PEACEFUL MOMENT DUE TO OUR DUTIES & COMMITMENT TO OUR CHILDREN & GRAND CHILDREN
THIS ONE TIME BREAK TO RELAX AT THE BIG SCREEN MOVIES IS A GREAT REVIVER & DE-STRESS
THANKING YOU
ACTION is always better on the BIG SCREEN!!! <3
Because it will be on a Big Screen which brings action effects much more.
If the movie includes jumping off a bridge, dodging bullets and, of course, escaping huge explosions then I’m here for it. I love an action packed movie. And by just looking at the trailer of ‘The Contractor’ , I can already tell that this movie is going to keep me entertained and on the edge throughout the duration.
Also Ben Foster acts, I’m a huge fan and would love to see him on screen
I would love to watch this movie on the big screen, as I have not been to the cinema since the lockdown started.
Big Better Best , and No better way to watch a movie then Cinema !
I’ve always been a fan of movies. And not just watching them, but also analyzing them: who the director was, why they shot a scene a certain way, who produced it, the making of the film, who starred in it and why, the ratings, reviews and more.
To me, the beauty of movies is to escape our everyday life and transport us into a new reality. From this experience, the celebration of these masterpieces is the Oscars.
But more and more people today are not going to theaters to see movies. Nationwide attendance at movie theaters has been declining for years, and is at a 20-year low.
Maybe it is because it is easier to rent movies, purchase DVDs, or just log into Netflix and Hulu to watch films? Or maybe today’s rising ticket prices or the quality of movies are the main factors why audiences have turned away from movie screens to their laptop screens? To me, actually going to the theater is part of the movie-watching experience.

The only way to watch a movie like that is on the big screen. #acoustics #sizematters #popcorn
Because nothing beats watching an action movie with your favourite actor on a big screen, with surround sound. 😍
Movies are much more enjoyable on the big screen, sound effects and its a good feeling connecting with an audience plus who wouldn’t want to watch Chris Pine on the big screen!
I’ve not been to the cinema since January 2020. I would love to go watch something new on the big screen with some amazing popcorn :)

Action movies are best seen on the big screen! So of course this needs to be seen in cinema.

Been waiting for this movie to come out since it was announced a few months back. Jason Bourne-esque action deserves to be viewed on the big screen.
It’s always better on the Big Screen!
The big screen wins hands down when looking to amplifying your immersion, particularly in action films. And this is a piece of action I’d like to get in on! Also, I’m a huge fan of Tarik Saleh!
It’s the ideal action movie to get me back in the cinema. As an action, espionage fan, this is the one that will get me to come out and watch it.
I am a HUGE Fan of both Chris Pine and Ben Foster, and now they are in the same BIG screen movie together! Say Whaaaat! I definitely cannot miss it.
Keen to get out the house. An action movie feels long overdue!
Nothing beats the ambiance and magic of the big screen. The smell of popcorn, the comfortable seat, the superb surround sound, the striking visuals – all work together for an immersive experience. I’d even risk ‘the COVID’ for it :)
I’d like to watch it cause the wife and i haven’t been to the movies since our son was born 5 years ago!
Action movie like this is best to see on the big screen!
The only way to see action movies is on the big screen and especially if Chris Pine is involved

I would like to treat my fiancé to a lovely night out and we LOVE going to the movies!

My daughter works in the animation industry and I’ve come to love watching films. I learn from her how the behind the scenes works in Live Action and Animation, I would assume some VFX is in The Contractor movie? Wooo shem, all these big words, now I need a soda, pop corn, some astros and act like a viewer not a crew member :’-D.
