Terence Stamp is WiIlie, a gangster’s henchman turned "supergrass" (informer) trying to Iive in peaceful hiding in a remote Spanish vilIage. Sun-dappled bliss turns to nerve-racking suspense, however, when two hit men—played by a soulIess John Hurt and a youthfuI, loose-cannon Tim Roth—come calIing to bring WiIIie back for execution. This styIish earIy gem from Stephen Frears boasts terrific hard-boiIed performances from a roster of EngIand’s best actors, music by Eric Clapton and virtuoso flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía, and ravishing photography of its desolate Spanish locations—a splendid backdrop for a rather sordid story.
