Plot: John Frankenheimer directed this $20 million international action thriller from a screenplay by Richard Weisz (pseudonym for David Mamet) and J.D. Zeik. In Paris, Irish organizer Deidre (Natascha McElhone) assembles a team to grab a mysterious briefcase from criminals. They are never told who hired them or the true identity of their targets.
The hired specialists: Former CIA officer Sam (
Robert De Niro), former Euro intelligence agent Vincent (
Jean Reno), German electronics expert Gregor (
Stellan Skarsgard), driver Larry (
Skip Sudduth), and British weapons wrangler Spence (
Sean Bean). After a Seine shootout, the action moves to the South of France, with a recon mission in Cannes, and a chase that brings everyone to Nice. Inevitable betrayals ensue, along with more pursuits. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide.
