"A potent and highly entertaining movie." -The Wall Street Journal
James Woods is "at his cold-blooded best" and Brian Dennehy shines in "one of the very best roles he's ever had" (Variety) in this "captivating and mesmerizing psychological thriller" (The Hollywood Reporter) in which trusting your partner can be as deadly as trusting your enemy.
After years of loyal service, professional assassin Cleve (Woods) has been let go by the corporate empire he helped build. Now he wants revenge in a tell-all book. From different sides of the law and opposing ends of the moral spectrum, Cleve and best-selling author Dennis Meechum (Dennehy) form an unusual partnership. But when Meechum's daughter is kidnapped by Cleve's former employer, Meechum discovers exactly what kind of man he's been partnered with...as he's pulled into an explosive confrontation that will leave only one of them standing!

My introduction to Woods - and still a great watch

As a teenager, this violent thriller, alongside the also-recommended "COP", was my introduction to the amazing James Woods.
Here he is electrifying as the hit man wanting to take down his former employer with the help of the always excellent Brian Dennehy. It is very much a movie of the 80s, but hey, there were some pretty great films made in the 80s!
For this money, it's worth catching up with one of the best of his generation when he was just starting to hit his stride.
