Viewing Notes
A good rewatch. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this. I had forgotten a lot of the details in the early scenes at the embassy, including Emilio Estevez and Kristen Scott-Thomas getting whacked early.
The “heist” sequence at the CIA is classic, and the finale on the chunnel train is crazy good action. Brian De Palma does a great job.

Hearty agreement with your notes! :)
It was a great rewatch - and we were in the same boat of forgetting a lot of the details. I completely forgot Emilio Estevez was in this!
We are enjoying rewatching the series as we ramp up to M:8.
