The story sounded more fun beforehand than I actually liked the movie itself. Bob Hoskins plays a strong role as a gangster who has to deal with including the IRA and liquidations of his own people . Also a decent role by Helen Mirren. And oh yes, you would almost forget, Pierce Brosnan in one of his first movie roles. Film has a pretty gray atmosphere and some fairly violent moments, but the pace and the amount of tension were a bit disappointing.

Very strong film with a no nonsense story about a hard gangster who causes a lot of misery. The supporting roles are strong, Mirren plays a very good role as a strong woman but Hoskins is great as Shand. Shand is a tantrum who greatly overestimates himself. Hoskins hits this beautifully. The final shot delivers a memorable scene that would only be available to a single actor.
