Following Asher who is a previous Mossad agent, he made a fruitful career. Be that as it may, he chose to leave this activity and work as an assassin. At one of his missions, he meets a pretty lady called Sophie with whom he rapidly becomes hopelessly enamored. Asher needs to end his perilous work on the off chance that he needs to carry on with a conventional life and start another one with Sophie.
The simplicity in director Michael Caton-Jones' tale about a man looking to redefine his concept of right and wrong is powerful enough to carry the movie.
As obvious and rudimentary as Asher is, it's kind of forgivable when you consider that this movie is really Perlman finally getting his chance to be the sympathetic, charismatic leading man.

You can appreciate the character-driven approach of this crime drama while also wishing the titular protagonist had a more compelling movie in which to inhabit.
Even when revenge doesn't connect, the softer areas of the writing do, delivering a picture that takes some dramatic risks while still delivering moments of blunt trauma.
Dreyfuss sinks his teeth into his handful of scenes, while Bisset hits different but equally effective tones in her moments. The underrated Janssen, striking as ever, does her usual stellar work.
