I saw this movie when it came out and thought it was really good. Watched it again today 20 years later and it certainly holds up. It is a slow burn that starts with an introduction to a simple man and a simple life with a sweet family. Then you find out that he has a whole other side of him, a dark history that catches up to him in this movie. The wife and I really enjoyed it and thought it was well done. There have been several movies like this that use this pattern after this one came out. A lot of used to be a gangster or used to be a CIA operative movies. This is definitely one of the better ones and I would recommend it.
