The Contractor (2013)

Rich couple in Malibu hire some guy to do odd jobs around the house, turns out he's a wrong 'un.

Oh dear, I didn't expect much from this straight to dvd, or should I say, charity shop release, but for the first hour, well it wasn't to bad. Cheesy, fairly enjoyable little plot, with almost tv soap opera 'qualities', but when we get to the final third it completely goes off the rails and turns into a train wreck of a movie. A laughably bad, melo-dramatic finale with some painful dialogue ("You can run but you can't hide") Danny Trejo bumbles his way through the movie, zero tension, plenty of clichés, painful.
