This is a superb espionage movie. Robert De Niro and Jean Reno do a wonderful job of playing rogue agents that are working for Irish mercenaries. When their team is double crossed on a heist they go after the one that grabbed the case. There are some incredible car chase scenes through Europe and the directing, cast, screenplay, camera work, and music is first rate. You truly feel like you are experiencing it with them. Wonderful job of immersing us in the espionage and counter-espionage spy business. I was surprised by the ending. The support cast really do a great job of filling in the plot and overall feel of the story. I hadn't seen this movie in years and mistakenly thought that it wasn't that good. After reading a couple reviews here and seeing such a great price I bought a copy. I am certainly glad I did because it is an excellent movie and the quality of the DVD is top notch. If you enjoyed "Mission Impossible", "The Thomas Crown Affair", or "The Bourne Identity" you should love this. Personally this is my favorite Robert De Niro movie now. The funny thing is how this character role fits with his role in "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fokkers".
