Synopsis
In London 1973, Willie Parker (Terence Stamp) betrays his fellow crooks. In Spain 1983, Parker is violently snatched from his tranquil village retreat by hitman Braddock (John Hurt) and his sidekick (Tim Roth), who are surprised to find out they have a completely willing victim on their hands. This new development throws Braddock completely off balance! With the police on their trail, plans change when they pick up a seductive but unwilling hostage (Laura del Sol). Now the police inspector is closing in on the killer-going-soft, the inexperienced accomplice, the desperate and sexy hostage, and the would-be victim who is wrapped up in his dreams of death...
