The
world of adult animation takes a decidedly urban turn with the
release of action-packed The Contract. Produced simultaneously
with its live-action feature film equivalent, Screen Gems feature
film Love and a Bullet, The Contract is the story of "Bishop,"
a professional assassin who works his way up the ranks from
an enforcer to a low level drug dealer to the point man for
international crime lord, Damien Wiles. Bishop's world is thrown
around for a loop when he is assigned to watch and eventually
kill Damien's beautiful innocent girlfriend, Cynda. For over
a month he watches her from a distance, unsure of the feeling
he has for her and haunted by a supernatural presence, The Milkman,
that may be real or a figment of his tortured imagination. This
ain't no kid's cartoon. |
