Damn good movie!

I just finished watching this and I'm thinking I'm going to have to get a copy of this one down the road when the price drops to 20 on the HD-DVD. It's been out for a little while though, since July.


Tagline: Every Killer Meets His Equal.
Plot Synopsis: Ray Keene, a father who wants to redeem himself in the eyes of his son, is trying to bring Cardin, a world-class assassin to justice. All the while, he must protect his son and evade the assassin's team who are methodically hunting them down in the wilderness.
Actors: John Cusack (http://www.amazon.com/gp/imdb/actor/nm0000131/ref=imdbdppd_a_0/002-2175220-3105631), Morgan Freeman (http://www.amazon.com/gp/imdb/actor/nm0000151/ref=imdbdppd_a_1/002-2175220-3105631), Jamie Anderson (http://www.amazon.com/gp/imdb/actor/nm2196500/ref=imdbdppd_a_2/002-2175220-3105631), Ned Bellamy (http://www.amazon.com/gp/imdb/actor/nm0068709/ref=imdbdppd_a_3/002-2175220-3105631), Margarita Blush (http://www.amazon.com/gp/imdb/actor/nm2525567/ref=imdbdppd_a_4/002-2175220-3105631), See more (http://www.amazon.com/Contract-HD-DVD-John-Cusack/dp/cast-crew/B000P0I4OY/ref=imdbdppd_castcrew_1/002-2175220-3105631?ie=UTF8&qid=1190087743&sr=8-2)All together the plot was very well put together and there are some nice surprise pieces in the film, also Freeman has always done a good job in the movies i've seen him in, Cusak for most part is good. In this movie though I think they played their parts very well.

HD Quality: I downloaded on Xbox live and I think this was the best download I've done yet on live, the quality was great, blacks were right on, I didn't notice any distortion at any point. I think with the quality of the download this will be one hell of a HD-DVD (I don't see that it's released for blueray). The studio that produced it is called "First Look Pictures", I don't know who they are tied to but I guess they don't do BlueRay releases.
