Storyline
A sniper on a mercenary
assassination team, working for an unknown client, kills the minister of mines
of the Congo. Terrier's (Sean Penn's) successful kill shot forces him to go
into hiding to protect himself and the members of the team from retribution. This
includes abruptly abandoning his girlfriend who has no idea what is going on.

of a paid hit squad somehow connected to the ministers assassination. This
leads to immediate deaths and the endangerment of the people working around
him, and forces him back into hiding. In trying to discover who has put a price
on his head, he begins to reconnect to the members of his old assassination
team, including his old girlfriend. Always aware there is no path to redemption
for his crimes, he is also periodically ... Written by RSailor
Reviews
Good plot - took you to Congo,
Spain and London. Something to think about what may or does go in Africa with
the corruption of their natural resources.
Well thought out, no silly stupid explosions, villains hstoryeld their guns right and for a change there were no Chuck Norris's or Bruce Lee's in the fighting.
And that is the biggest gripe of mine when it comes to action film - most films are too far fetched. Need more films like this and such as the 'Heat ' Leon'. Why cant they make real films anymore? The only bit that spoil it for me was an illness - didn't need it in the script.
