Synopsis

A dark and brooding thriller, the story follows a group of mercenaries assembled in Amsterdam by a British intelligence officer. Believing they are waiting for the details of a new mission, they spend their free time in the city's sleazy bars and brothels. Over the course of the weekend, it gradually becomes clear that all is not what it seems. Unknown to them, their paths have all crossed before, and the deceit and violence of the past is about to lead to their downfall.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
