A group of undercover agents double-cross one another
during a mission to steal a briefcase from a group of Irish revolutionaries.
Aside from a gripping, high-octane car chase midway
through the running time, there's very little memorable about this run-of-the-mill crime thriller, even with a great actor like Robert DeNiro in the lead role.
