Unfortunately I wasn't sent a review copy of the latest direct-to-DVD flick The Contractor from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, but I am still holding out hope they will send me one as this looks like a flick I will enjoy based on this 5:40 clip Sony provided us.

On a limited number of sites you will find this exclusive look at The Contractor as Snipes plays marksman James Dial and has his target in his sights. What ensues is a little car chase followed by an explosion and your interest is peaked.

In The Contractor Wesley Snipes is back as a deadly assassin who finds himself on the run when an attempt to kill a terrorist mastermind in London goes terribly wrong. Retired marksman James Dial (Snipes) lives a secluded lifeon his ranch in Montana. Haunted by his failure to exterminate one of the world’s most notorious terrorists, he is approached by his old employers to finish the job in London, where the terrorist leader has been captured and is under heavy protection. What would be a routine mission for the sniper turns into a nightmare as Dial is forced into hiding and relentlessly pursued by the British police and their lead investigator, Windsor (Charles Dance, Gosford Park, The Golden Child). But when Dial is framed forWindsor’s murder, he begins to realize that he has been seriously double-crossed. His only hope is a 12-year-old girl whom Dial reluctantly befriends as he desperately searches to find the killer and the truth behind his betrayal.
