I'm trying to find the name of, or any info on, this film:
 
An Irish hitman tries to quit the "company" he works for.  The
company therefore tries to "retire" him permanently.  The hitman
hides on the land surrounding his home and kills all the men
sent to kill him.  Eventually the president of the company and
the hitman confront and manage to kill each other off at the
same time.  This scene takes place is a home the preisdent has
strangely rigged with various booby traps to confuse the hitman.
 
The story is told partly from the perspective of
the hitman's widow, who never knew he was a hired killer.
 
I saw this film rebroadcast on TV about 1985, give or take
a few years.  I don't know how much earlier it was made.
 
The only other info I have is that at least some of the
soundtrack was little pieces of Brian Eno.
 
Any film wizzes know this film?

this is probably not so very different from what other people
sometimes feel too."
