I think we are supposed to believe that it is some sort of weapon....biological perhaps.....bloody good film though....have yet to see Jean Reno in a bad 'un.
Seconded Greedyfly. Finding out what was in the case was the only thing stopping me from falling asleep. The worst film that I've ever wasted �6 on, except maybe Guesthouse Paradiso.
I don't think the film hinged on what was in the case. Do you really believe that? I don't think it really mattered what was in the case. These things are included purely (I think) to stir a little bit of intrigue. Good entertaining film with cool car chases.
icecoldin - Yes, for me it did. Though I can appreciate that for some people, there was enough in the rest of the story to hold their interest, there just wasn't for me. If it had managed to entertain me, I don't think I would have cared that much about the case either.
