Overview
Mike Sullivan works as a hit man for crime boss John Rooney. Sullivan views Rooney as a father figure, however after his son is witness to a killing, Mike Sullivan finds himself on the run in attempt to save the life of his son and at the same time looking for revenge on those who wronged him.
One of Paul Newman’s final credits, and it is an absolute gem. It was refreshing to see Hanks in a role like this – he was also great. The scene between the two leads at the end is pure movie magic.
