Let me give you a precise description of director Axel Sand’s movie ‘Final contract’ - A car chase, a speed boat chase, and more car chases. That is what Final Contract is all about. Yet another movie with a flimsy storyline, the Final Contract uses the story only to lead you to more vehicle stunts.
The storyline is pretty simple and definitely provides a lot of scope for gripping action. David Glover, played by Drew Fuller, is a courier at the ‘Berlin Express’. As usual, the hero needs to have a crush to share screen space with him in the initial parts of the movie and here it is Jenny played by Tanja Wenzel. Enter the criminal - Lara (Alison King) who claims to be a police woman hitch hikes along with David in his car, during a routine job. The stage is set for the umpteen numbers of chases to begin. (The name rings a bell doesn't it? This character does bear a resemblance to Lara Croft of the Tomb Raiders. Well the Director doesn’t seem to mind.)

Lara turns out to be a professional Killer who is gunning for three witnesses to a murder. She frames David for a killing. The rest is a cliché. David has to escape the clutches of the Police and prove his innocence by trapping the real culprit. No prizes for guessing what the climax could be – not another chase of course? Well, I don’t want to play spoilsport. Watch it. The tag line reads ‘Death on Delivery’. ‘Dearth of storylines’, would have suited it better.
The movie has a number of holes, but the stunt sequences might just make you forget those. After all, the story is for the stunts and stunts alone. The stunts might hold you at the edge of the seat, but the movie fails to make a lasting impression. If you eat and dream about reckless driving, then the movie is your haven. A tip to the audience – please don’t search for any logic. It is way far off. Just watch this for some light hearted fun and for the chase, of course.
