Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
M MALIK calling this a film would be insult to cinema i would say in my opinion as this is such a terrible project that it deserves a zero percent rating & should be on bottom in IMDb charts.first of all if anyone is looking for some hot sex or good story here then get ready to be disappointed as its got none here just some kissing scenes are included that's that's all,i am not going to waste my time talking about the plot its written here go read it yourself.the characters are awfully written here all the actors got wasted here Jason Clarke doing here he ruined it much more this guy can't act at all so i don't care for his role he was just way too over the top loud in his performance here but what the hell were Idris Elba & Paz Vega doing here these two are method actors & masters in their field when word acting comes to mind,Idris Elba is amazing guy he got wasted here as for Paz Vega my god what has Hollywood done to this Spanish beauty is just sad,she is really really wasting her talents in Hollywood she will never have a career like Penelope Cruz or Salma Hayek in Hollywood her Spanish films are true classics it is really sad to see her giving her best performance in this lame film but it just doesn't work,she plays a character called Michael here hello are these filmmakers joking or what Michael is a terrible character name for a female specially when you have the hottest actress in the world like Paz Vega in the cast.the story goes nowhere the chemistry never works between actors i repeat not characters the actors they felt uncomfortable when filming this it easily shows.may i ask where did the camera go that Paz Vega used to record the sexy kissing scene of Jason Clarke inside limousine what is that story angle i though she was going to use it to frame him later & a big twist was coming in the name of revenge but boy i was wrong,all that 50 shades of Grey type nonsense these people were pulling on each other was useless.the final confrontation between Julian & Michael is hilarious when Jason Clarke punches Paz Vega & she goes flying crashes into the nearby table then instead of getting up she sticks a pen inside her leg hurting herself for no reason & bleeding out.anyway the point remains is the human contract is a pointless film Jada Pinket Smith is a better actress she should remain one & never direct movies storytelling is not her thing.The Human Contract 2008 is embarrassment for the whole cast specially Idris Elba & Paz Vega such fine actors should never sign this type of film contract without reading the script my rating is 2/10.Skipp It
June O First let me say Paz as Michael was fantastic, great casting. She looks like Penelope Cruz but much hotter. As for the film, its the perfect example of a good bad movie. Parts of it are good, like the main characters, acting, dialogue and if the rumors are true the sex scenes mimics Will & Jada's alleged open marriage. Now for the bad part, the plot is 4-play without the sex & even at its climax at best its blah. Also the big secret thats finally revealed is such a let down, you see it coming the minute its introduced its like someone telling you the guy with the bloody gloves & knife is the killer. With all that said its a watchable film.
rlange-3 SPOILRRS Two talented but deeply flawed individuals have an affair, revealing that their respective houses are built upon sand. The man is a hard driving alpha male businessman who lets the affair completely destroy his opportunity through foolish choices, and reveals an ugliness of ego and jealousy when he is unable to make the rules. The woman is revealed to be a repetitively suicidal, unstable and shallow despite her glamorous presentation and veneer of sophistication.All of this is reasonably entertaining in and of itself. But the Deep Dark Mystery of the Dark Room is inflated into a tantalizing enigma that turns into a near parody of the movie. What could be there that drives Julian's life? A string of serial murders? An affair with an exotic spy? A penchant for torturing small children? Why does he need an entire room to remain locked with a double super secret combination? The answer is so banal as to defy belief. And appears to revolve items that fit into a shoebox. To say this is a letdown after plying through 90 minutes of barely passable acting and cornball anti-morality would be an understatement. Far from being a 'free spirit', Michael is just another "messed up chick" trapped in shallow values. And Julian is a rather obnoxious guy who needs to get over himself. There is no real 'justification' for either of their behaviors offered. The spoiled nouveau riche on a lark, and they can't even handle that. In the end, it is a letdown.
Sherazade It baffled me that Jada Pinkett-Smith had turned director but what baffled me more was the fact that she chose to make a random "soft porn" movie like this. It's a good effort on her part though, I'd give it 5/10 stars which is great considering that there are professional directors and writers out there who churn out crap year in year out and this film was made by an actress/first time director. Another thing I noticed was the fact that Paz Vega is a dead-ringer for Penelope Cruz, they sound alike, act alike and look alike. Also, Paz kinda also resembled Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif in this film, I guess because she was playing a exotic role. I would like to point out the fact that Idris Elba is actually from Britain (people a used to seeing him play American roles) and I guess that's some of you think his accent is bogus but it isn't. He used his natural accent in the film.
