Short description

Frankie McGuire, one of the IRA's deadliest assassins, draws an American family into the crossfire of terrorism. But when he is sent to the U.S. to buy weapons, Frankie is housed with the family of Tom O'Meara, a New York cop who knows nothing about Frankie's real identity. Their surprising friendship, and Tom's growing suspicions, forces Frankie to choose between the promise of peace or a lifetime of murder.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Brad Pitt was attacked in Belfast while practicing his accent there for filming.
  • Work on the original script was abandoned, and the screenplay was rewritten at least seven times, to the point where Brad Pitt called the result complete nonsense. He even considered leaving the film's cast, but was threatened with legal action.
