Kiefer Sutherland on The Contractor, Dark City, and What 24 Taught Him About Acting

With director Tarik Saleh’s (The Nile Hilton Incident) The Contractor arriving in theaters, Digital, and On Demand tomorrow, I recently got to speak with Kiefer Sutherland about making the action-thriller. Written by J.P. Davis, the film stars Chris Pine as a Special Forces Sergeant who joins a private underground military force, alongside Ben Foster, after being discharged from the Army and cut-off from his pension. Unfortunately, on his first mission, things go wrong, and he’s caught in a dangerous conspiracy and fighting to stay alive long enough to get home and uncover what happened. The film also stars Gillian Jacobs, Eddie Marsan, JD Pardo, and Florian Munteanu. During the interview, Sutherland talks about what drew him to this role and film, what someone should watch if they’ve never seen his work, why he learned so much about acting while making 24, and why he’s so proud of his work on Alex Proyas’ Dark City and what he did to land the role. #KieferSutherland #TheContractor #DarkCity
