The Contractor

The Contractor, as an Action, Drama, and Thriller, primarily evokes high levels of Anxiety and Anticipation, reflecting James Dial's constant peril as he is framed and hunted by both his former employer and the police. Excitement is generated by the intense action sequences and chases. Empathy and Sadness are prominent due to the dramatic elements of betrayal, loss, Dial's isolation, and his desperate struggle for redemption and to clear his name, often aided by a vulnerable young girl. Anger is directed at the injustice of his situation and the villainous actions of those who framed him, while Fear underscores the high stakes and constant danger he faces.
