Driven by the self-confident charisma of Terence Stamp (Pricilla Queen of the Desert, Superman II), the vicious charm of John Hurt (The Elephant Man, Alien), and a fascinating debut performance by Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction), the film opens in Spain, where two contract killers (Hurt and Roth) are hired to kidnap a supergrass (Stamp) from his hide-out and deliver him to underworld bosses in Paris he'd betrayed years before. Along the way, the serene abductee, having become a bit enlightened during his ten-year retreat, seems unworried about death or anything else, and it's the killers who feel the strain of spilling his blood.
