This is a gritty noir movie, sitting on the edge of the gangster sub-genre, with Pierce Brosnan as a weary hitman. The story chronicles the difficult situation he finds himself in.
One of the best films of Brosnan's career, and part of a loose cycle of what you might call anti-Bond movies (the others being The Tailor of Panama, The Matador and November Man). Compelling watch and a very well-written role for the female lead, both characters are portrayed as resourceful and bolt who cope well under pressure. A light romance threads through the story, but it doesn't take over.
A solid entry in Brosnan's filmography.
