A bunch of mercenaries are gathered in Paris and hired to retrieve a case for a client that wants it, regardless of what it takes. Of course if one groups knows about and wants this case, surely someone else does also.

Look no further than the cast; you have De Niro and Reno as mercenaries and the lovely McElhorne as their boss and our eye candy. Throw in Bean and his "boathouse" conversation with De Niro and you'll have a good time.

Some of the accents are a little thick and the car chases are simply too long.

I really like this movie and the way it's constructed (other than the lengthy car chases). It has a well written script and very good actors performing their specific roles.
