Great car chase it may be, but that is one CRAP film....plot is so well hidden, a bloody St. Bernard couldn't find it! There are people in that film who should be ashamed of themselves, given how good they can be.

Yes it is an S8. Great film - always enjoy watching it. Car chases are fantastic, but it is also an intelligent thriller. Not the normal Hollywood crap - you've actually got to watch the film and work it out (a rarity these days). It has the look and feel of an older film - sort of 70s action/thriller. Terrific cast aswell which shows the pulling power of John Frankenheimer as director.

Very well made, great stunts and huge scenes, very well shot chase scenes and De Niro and Reno are always great, but watching it again, you do lose interest knowing the end is quite weak, it seems the writers ran out of steam and just plopped down this conclusion, and as you really don't care about what Seamus does or is going to do with the case, it is a bit anti-climatic, and why let Deirdre go when she is a terrorist?
Think if they had had more coffee at the storyboard meetings it could have been much better!
This must lead to a link about the best car chases?
Which I will do now....

More realistic ending but a bit depressing as you have to wonder what happens to her...
