Robert Rath is a seasoned hitman who just wants out of the business with no back talk. But, as things go, it ain't so easy. A younger, peppier assassin named Bain is having a field day trying to kill said older assassin. Rath teams up with a computer hacker named Electra to defeat the obsessed Bain.Written by

(At 1:13:05-1:16:00) Rath originally gets on the Seattle monorail at Westlake Center terminus, makes the exchange at the Seattle Center terminus and gets back on the monorail. He jumps off on to the track buttress by exiting the right side of the train (in correlation with the train's motion). This means that the train is going in the wrong direction as the buttress is on the left side when traveling from Seattle Center to Westlake Center. Further proof is the exterior shot of the monorail heading toward the Space Needle after it resumes operation. See more »

Miguel Bain:
Killing a woman, it's not the same as killing a man. You have to pull the trigger a different way.

In order to really enjoy this movie, you have to put your brain in a freezer for 133 minutes and just refrain from trying analyze anything in here. There are more holes in this story than swiss cheese, as the cliché somewhat goes.
Having said that, however, I did enjoy the action scenes and the by-play between the two assassins - "Robert Rath" (Sylvester Stallone) and "Miguel Bain" (Antonio Banderas) - enough to make it a fun ride. I might even have rated it another star higher had a few things weren't confusing and left unanswered, or Banderas spoke clearer English. Still, it's not bad and for fans of "Sly" and action films, worth a look.
