My review of the so so but entertaining thriller, The Package(1989) starring Gene Hackman, Joanna Cassidy, Tommy Lee Jones, John Heard, Ike Pappas, Dennis Franz, Pam Grier, Reni Santoni, Thalmus Rasulala, Kevin Crowley, Ron Dean, Nathan Davis, and Chelcie Ross.

Directed by Andrew Davis

Trivia

Although the story is set in various places around the world, nearly all of the film (including scenes set in Washington and Germany) were filmed in the area of the director's home town, Chicago.

The "christmas present" Walter Henke gets, the rifle - which is identical to Boyette's assassin weapon, of course - is indeed Austrian as Henke says, it's a Steyr AUG Bullpup 5.56mm universal rifle, manufactured by Steyr Mannlicher.

Kris Kristofferson campaigned hard to get the role of the Airborne Ranger that went to Tommy Lee Jones.
