Synopsis
The Jackal is an elusive assassin who makes his living by carrying out assassinations for the highest fee. He soon meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer who pursues him in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe.
The Jackal is seen driving a white Alfa Romeo Spider
In The Day of the Jackal (1973), the Jackal also drives a white Alfa Romeo, albeit an earlier model. Referenced in Graham Norton I like: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024).
The cast delivers some truly great performances
The narrative is solid, with twists and turns that keep you engaged, and the cinematography captures the creepy atmosphere perfectly. That said, I must point out that Ms.
Lynch’s performance was quite disappointing
Her performance felt very one-dimensional, which unfortunately stood out in a cast full of strong and nuanced performances. It’s not about race—I can think of several brilliant black actresses who could have brought more depth and complexity to the role.
It’s definitely not perfect, but it deserves attention
It’s just that her performance didn’t match the quality of the show overall, which was disappointing. Still, the show is worth watching for its story and the standout performances from other cast members.
