REVIEW
Rourke delivers a subdued performance as a guilt-ridden IRA assassin in Hodges' adaptation of Jack Higgins' novel. With their usual skill, Hoskins, as a feisty priest, and Bates, as a cold-blooded racketeer, lend strong support. Though not as thrilling as its source, the film offers insight into the power of forgiveness and man's atonement for his sins.
