John Allman

If you’ve ever wandered the aisles at the video store or surfed the DVR pay-per-view options and seen a bunch of movies that you’ve never heard of, chances are John has watched them. Why? He loves movies. All kinds of movies. Good, bad, so-bad-they’re good, even the truly unwatchable ones. He mostly loves horror and science-fiction and drive-in exploitation movies that most upstanding model citizens wouldn’t dare watch. Then he writes up his thoughts so you can decide - watch, don’t watch or avoid at all costs. Sometimes he even gets to talk to the cool folks who make some of your favorite films.

The Human Contract

Posted Jul 2, 2009 by John Allman

The Human Contract
Genre: Drama/Erotica
Directed by: Jada Pinkett Smith
Run time: 107 minutes
Rating: R
Format: DVD

The Lowdown: Remember movies like “Two Moon Junction” or “91/2 Weeks”?

You know, the highly-stylized mainstream “adult” movies that teased viewers with an R-rated sexfest that bordered on porn but never crossed that line into XXX territory.

We’re talking Zalman King’s “Red Shoes Diaries” amped up to feature-film length in order to spotlight a few extra bare buttocks or breasts.

Yeah, so does Jada Pinkett Smith apparently.

“The Human Contract,” her writing and directorial debut, presents such a tumultuous, torrid encounter between Jason Clarke and Paz Vega.

There’s little you need to know about the movie except this:

1 – It tries really hard to be erotic, but really only generates considerable heat during a fantastic limo sex scene where Vega and Clarke are watched by a female driver.

2 – The camera lingers far too long on Clarke’s seven-head (For the follicle-challenged, and that includes your intrepid reviewer, that means this poor guy is three spots past a forehead and should seriously consider shaving his scalp bald).

3 – It’s not very good overall, but as a curious celebrity vanity project, “The Human Contract” warrants a watch if only to get a sense of what stimulates one-half of the world’s second sexiest couple.

The Stuff You Care About:
Hot chicks – Paz Vega, very hot.
Nudity – Yes.
Gore – No.
Drug use – No.
Bad Guys/Killers – None.
Buy/Rent – Rent it.
Release Date – June 30, 2009
