The contract could not manage to gain positive reviews from the fans and critics but was soon enough stated as an average film. Overall, the acting is excellent, but the script is terrible and ruins the film. Fans did not enjoy this film even though the cast is exceptionally amazing, but they failed to deliver a good movie. It is often categorized as a predictable, artificial, and occasionally ridiculous film for its underdeveloped plot and storyline. The way the movie proceeds with its plot and character development is criticized. It is often compared to a slow-moving sludge. It proceeded slowly enough from the start under the veil of implementing some character development. Although the film also managed to gain a few positive points for its incredible selection of location and the pairing of the cast members. Fans were keeping high hopes for Cusack and Freeman, but unlikely things cannot always go as expected.
Budget 25,000,000 USD
Box Office Collection 5,549,200 USD

The producers closed the shoot down after fifty days, and Beresford was forced to use his own money to complete the film.
