The Jackal Movie Download

5 / 10

Way too slow but I like the cold Bruce Willis villain
FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston (Sidney Poitier) is working with Major Valentina Koslova of the Russian MVD to take on the Russian mob. In a raid, they kill the brother of mob boss Terek Murad (David Hayman). He hires the Jackal (Bruce Willis) to assassinate a target in revenge for $70 Million. The joint task force is desperate to identify the mysterious Jackal. Basque separatist Isabella Zanconia (Mathilda May) may have seen the Jackal and they use former IRA shooter Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere) to help track her down. When they tell him the target is FBI Director Donald Brown, he tells them that he actually met the Jackal.

Everything about this movie screams 70s. The pacing is slow like a 70s movie. There are unnecessary side trips. It’s a terrorist plot ripped out of a 70s novel. The premise itself is ridiculous. For that amount of money, the Russian mob could hire dozens of killers. Like almost everything in this movie, it feels a little old and outdated. Director Michael Caton-Jones tries his best but this just doesn’t have a chance. It’s interesting to see Bruce Willis play the calculating assassin but there isn’t much else that interest me in this movie.Read More
