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.
