The Human Contract, a review by KinkyCyborgThe Human Contract ![]() Title:The Human Contract ![]() Year: 2008 Director: Jada Pinkett Smith Rating: R Length: 107 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English, French Stars: Jada Pinkett Smith Jason Clarke Paz Vega Idris Elba Steven Brand Plot: Corporate player Julian Wright (Jason Clarke) stands on the verge of the deal of his career. But his life just crossed paths with a woman (Paz Vega) who will turn his world upside down, triggering emotions Julian never knew he had. As he pursues her in a dangerous game of seduction, he is forced to confront his past. Ultimately, Julian must face the dark family secrets that continue to haunt him and his troubled sister (Jada Pinkett Smith). Jada Pinkett Smith makes her directorial debut with this sophisticated, stylish and suspenseful film. Extras: Scene Access Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Featurettes My Thoughts: Directorial debut of Jada Pinkett Smith which was much better than I was expecting. The ending left a boatload of unanswered questions but it was compelling to watch throughout. ![]() An arrogant, hotshot corporate prick named Julian, played by an ugly Jason Clarke (he's the spitting image of Quentin Tarantino) after meeting up with a beautiful free spirit named Michael, played by Paz Vega, has his wall of defenses, born of a troubled childhood, slowly begin to disintegrate. Very slow pace to this film but not in a bad way as the time is used to deftly develop the interesting characters. Some intensely erotic scenes make things interesting as well. Jason Clarke, despite a face that only a mother could love, is a very intense, good young actor whom I'd like to see more from. Paz Vega is a gorgeous woman but it's unfortunate she has to speak. I've always found her rapid, clipped dialogue rather exasperating and difficult to understand at times although here she does manage to convey a lot of emotion. Good supporting roles from Idris Elba, Jada Pinkett Smith and Ted Danson along with an excellent musical score make this a surprising good pick up of a movie that I knew little to nothing about. I'd recommend this for a watch.

OK not really, seriousness isn't my cup of tea ![]() The documentary isn't really complicated since it's a bunch of well endowed women dancing while they talk about their vision of life (surprisingly their comments are interesting and not always stupid). All of this accompany by a great musical score, so Pete this film isn't for you ![]() Not the deepest documentary ever made, but watching those natural girls dancing topless over and over is quite hypnotic... What can I say? I'm a guy ![]() Rating : ![]() (From The little known movie review depot on January 6th, 2010) Tom's TV Finales marathon, a review by Tom
