    Im searching for a film to watch, but cant think of its name.

    I know it had Bruce Willis in it and he was an assassin who went to assassinate this female senator using a massive cannon machine-gun thing!

    No names have jumped at me at all and would appreciate your help.

    Also if can you inform me of any sites for this purpose I would be grateful and Im sure you would to as it would spare me ahving to ask you :)

    this was really a great movie, and i appreciate bruce willis for his flexability. He has done a lot of action films, but has not been type cast as the good guy or bad guy and plays both with ease. Yep, the Jackel is a winner

    Thanks for that :)

    Remember watching a few years a go and it impressed me, so I'll probably rent it out again!

    oh gawd it was just awful. The basic premise was a re-hash of the brilliant original but make it more appealing to Americans (i.e. not set in one of those funny countries across the ocean, but in America)
    Oh, and make the gun enormous cos you need one the size of an AA gun to kill one person and people pay money to see really big guns in movies.

    Stoopid movie which didn't even come close to the original.

    Richard Gere's accent is enough to doom this film to the nth level of Hell.
    Boo.

    Oh yeah, I'd forgotten how cringe-worthy that was.
    Brutal (the movie too)

    I blame Darby O'Gill for making the yanks think everyone in Ireland sounds like that. I had forgotten how brutal Gere's accent was until reading this. Still, I kinda liked the film. The scene where Willis shoots off Jack Black's arm was funny.
