Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas did a terrific job on the screen as they play the role of two killers.
Stallone is Robert Rath, best killer around, the Number 1. Banderas is Miguel Bain, the one who wants to become the new Number 1, but if he wants to do so, he has to eliminate Rath.
They meet at a funeral, where Rath's mark is killed by Bain before he does so. From then on, it's battle between the two.
The movie is quite similar to "The Specialist"(1994) - another Sylvester Stallone movie - only that there he had no Banderas to fight against!
A couple of words on the cast. Well, I already said that Stallone and Banderas did well but my compliments go to Julianne Moore. She was brilliant.
Vote : 80/100.
