Robert Rath (Sylvester Stallone) is a seasoned hitman who just wants out of the business with no back talk. But, as things go, it ain't so easy. A younger, peppier assassin named Bain (Antonio Banderas) is having a field day trying to kill said older assassin. Rath teams up with a computer hacker named Electra (Julianne Moore) to defeat the obsessed Bain.
Wow, remember the days when Sylvester Stallone movies were still pretty decent? DEMOLITION MAN, ASSASSINS, and COPLAND. Then his career nosedived with DRIVEN and GET CARTER. And who better to play the villain than Antonio Banderas? I haven't seen many movies with him as a bad guy so this was definitely a nice treat to see him get down with his bad, latino self. Also, Julianne Moore was using this film and NINE MONTHS to catapult her career to the state is in today. This was the movie I'd have loved to see John Woo direct rather than BROKEN ARROW.
