The film is a nifty cat and mouse game with a IRA terrorist after a police bomb expert. Tommy Lee Jones plays Ryan Gaerity, an IRA bomber, who holds a grudge against Jeff Bridges. Bridges is currently a bomb expert (via training with the IRA - same as Tommy Lee), however, he has moved and remade his life. Only, Tommy Lee has tracked him down and is coming after not only Bridges, but his family.
Once again, Tommy Lee puts in one of his 110% percent, brilliant performances that can make any film worth watching. However, Bridges also gives a great job as his target, and you have the extra joy of watching Lloyd Bridges (daddy) playing his Irish Da in the movie.
Suspenseful, great actions sequences, tension-filled/nail-bitting defusing of bombs make this one a great action adventure film.
