Okay, so what do you get for your money - well, there's Harrison Ford and Sean Bean for a start and what a start!
This little masterpiece involves an IRA terrorist (Bean) whose plot is foiled by an off duty American (Ford) who kells Bean's brother, which can only mean one thing - VENGEANCE and Bean makes a wonderful villain.
After that it's tensiuon and thrills all the way right until the climax in a dark house (where else) followed by a fight to the death in a boat (I seem to remember).
There was a follow up with Ford also starring in Clear And Present Danger, but it couldn't hold a light to this - one of the most thrilling of adventure films.
Bean's never been better, all sinister, menacing and committed to the cause - a true psycho.
