Jack Higgins (is a nickname) was a British (English) INCREDIBLE writer - he passed last year, 2022!
Higgins was responsible for dozen AMAZING novels! He was specialized in spy thriller novels, but also ww2 stories, IRA fighters, etc. His books had a superb writing, you could "feel" the action and drama...
...Now, this film here, is one of Jack Higgins' MOST GREATEST novels ever made! The book was remarkable and to be fair, the director here did great job and the movie also feels SO "HIGGINS"!
And the funny part is... except the small role LIAM NEESON played (and as you know he's IRISH)... the real shock was Mickey Rourke!!! Mick is a NEW YORKER actor, pure American... and in this movie he playes INCREDIBLY good the Irish IRA fighter Fallon!
And... his accent!!!! Oh boy, Mickey did a very good job to sound as best as he could... IRISH!
Incredible story (Jack Higgins) and very good screenplay! The SCORE (music) was also amazing!
A very good film, indeed!
