I re-watched this film from 1998 as I remember the great car chase sequences through Paris. I had forgotten the twisting plot, a group of hired guns who are to setup an ambush to recover a "case" whose contents are never revealed before it is sold to the Russians.
In some ways the plot is a vehicle for the car stunts. Robert De Niro plays a very good lead, a shame Sean Bean got such a short role but he plays it well.
There is a strong Irish terrorist link with the handler Deirdre having a thick Irish accent. The end of the film with the main protagonists killed had a radio clip of the IRA agreeing to ceasefire terms, although that is a little tenuous.
