Late 90s Bruce Willis made a fantastic villain
2 B fair I can C why they updated this, as the original felt 2 much of its time & dealt heavily with Brit/French politics, 5* or not!
Good movie even after major production issues.
A basic but good action - suspens show from the late 90s
Bruce is great here. Very effective thriller for the first 3/4 but his character making unwise choices in the climax hurts it alittle.
Never really liked this movie. It’s a shame because I like both actors
Decent hitman movie. Bruce Willis does well as a villain.
Bruce Willis gave great performance. Good action film.
This is the type of action childhood was all about.
Don't understand why so many people dislike this film. It's a good action film. Not groundbreaking, but not insulting. JB blown to bits/10
