Sylvester Stallone headlines this high-tech action-adventure and plays a ruthless hit man who finds himself stalked by a younger rival. The older assassin, Robert Rath, cannot shake the painful memory of an earlier hit and wants to leave his dirty business after he completes his final assignment for a mysterious boss. He meets his crazy rival, the fearless Miguel Bain while attempting to assassinate an old fellow at a funeral. Bain beats him to it and then makes a ballsy escape in which he ends up in a stolen taxi driven by Rath. It is here that the two become mortal enemies. Later, Rath is given one last assignment: he must kill a female surveillance officer and steal an important disc before she has a chance to sell it. When he discovers that Bain is on the same assignment, the two begin a deadly competition in a large Seattle hotel. Eventually, Rath ends up kidnapping the officer Electra and her large ever-present cat. When he finally meets up with Bain, a terrible struggle ensues and suddenly Rath realizes that the whole scene is a set up. Rath then heads for San Juan, Puerto Rico where residents celebrate the Day of the Dead. Amidst the festivities, the two play a deadly cat-and-mouse game.
