Honestly, I wasn't expecting something amazing from this but, at least, I thought it could be an entertaining action flick especially with such stars like Richard Gere and Bruce Willis. Unfortunately, it barely managed to be an average action feature. The worst thing is that, since then, I have seen 'The Day of the Jackal', the movie which has inspired it, it was completely brilliant and it makes ... read more

" The Jackal is a loose remake of the 1973 film The Day of the Jackal, both of which are based on a 1971 novel, The Day of the Jackal, by English writer Frederick Forsyth. Which in and of itself is based on infamous serial bomber and terrorist, Ilich Ramírez Sanchez, who is also known as Carlos the Jackal. An imprisoned IRA sniper is freed to help stop a brutal, seemingly "faceless" assassin from completing his next job. The film stars Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Sidney Poitier, and is actio"

"5.4. 2024 The assassin who is the main character of "The Jackal" clearly expresses that he wants to avoid unnecessary attention, but he actually does everything to raise as much attention as possible. The other characters of this unnecessary remake aren't much more logical. If the movie is exciting enough, it doesn't matter if it's not completely logical, but the director of "The Jackal" fills the movie with talking heads, offers little action and hardly any excitement."

"17.8. En muistanutkaan, että lapsena kymmeniä kertoja VHS:ltä katsottu ysäritrilleri olisi näin tylsä ja ruma. Aivan sietämättömän huonolla rankkamusiikilla alkava elokuva yrittää olla jotain todella nokkelaa ja rajua, mutta juuri tämä aspekti onnistuu pilaamaan muuten ihan potentiaalisen tapauksen. Bruce Willisin esittämä palkkamurhaaja pistetään venäläismafiaan kohdistuneen poliisioperaation seurauksena mysteerikohteen perään. Kansainvälinen yhteistyö on sitä mieltä"
