Synopsis

John Connor is a hitman on the verge of retirement who agrees to take one last assignment. After years in the deadly profession, he has grown weary and longs to leave it behind. Hoping to start anew in Dublin and perhaps mend his failing marriage, Connor seeks to escape the solitary life of a marksman and disappear from view. However, his handler, O'Neal, is unwilling to let him go and, after persistent persuasion, convinces him to accept one final job.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
