03.08.07Netflix Bronson plays a hitman who teaches Jan-Michael Vincent the tools of the trade, so it's a bit like The Professional (without the pedophile angel) for the first half, then things get tricky with double crosses and whatnot. Very decent solid Brosnan flick. It also has an exploding motorcycle gag that I'm not sure how they did... you see the guy moving as he falls off this huge cliff then it explodes immediately upon impact (no cut). The guy must be a dummy moving in the wind or something but damn if it doesn't look real. crazy.
