Review

A couple of fiendishly fast car chases spark this intriguing, if very old-fashioned thriller that drags on too long. Mercenaries Robert De Niro and Jean Reno are hired to ambush a convoy of cars and steal a mysterious case. Cross and double-cross follow as various factions - Irish, Russians, Germans - fight for possession of the case, the contents of which are never disclosed.
