Bruce Willis, Richard Gere and Sidney Poitier star in this international suspense thriller directed by Michael Caton-Jones.
A ruthless assassin (Willis) has been hired to eliminate someone at the very top of the U.S. government.
Constantly changing his identity and location, he is known only as the Jackal. Everything about this hit man, including his sinister timetable, is a secret.
Aware of the Jackal's presence but uncertain of his purpose, the FBI's Deputy Director (Poitier) faces the biggest challenge of his career. In order to track down this cold-blooded killer, he and a by-the-book Russian intelligence officer (Diane Venora) enlist the aid of an imprisoned Irish terrorist (Gere). These unlikely allies enter a global race against the clock to stop the mysterious mercenary before he can complete his deadly assignment.
The Jackal is based on the screenplay of the 1973 film The Day Of The Jackal.

Pointless remake of the stark classic Day Of The Jackal, updates the story and has Bruce Willis in an inexplicable collection of unconvincing disguises leading Richard Gere on a merry chase. Ponderous and heavy going, its longer than it need to be and never really gels. Looks even worse than it may really be when compared with the original.
I found this movie to be really interesting i dont know why. It never really gets any good reviews but maybe it was just the bad guy being Bruce Willis that interested me. Jack Black also has some memorable scenes before he became a huge star. Nice accent for Willis also, highly recommended
