About
If you want a tense assassin-versus-intelligence cat-and-mouse thriller with lots of momentum, The Day of the Jackal delivers, though some performances may disappoint; Not for you if you can’t stand unlikable leads or flat portrayals, or if you prefer The Night Manager or Top Boy over this style.
Pros: compelling cat-and-mouse; Europe-set thrills; strong lead performance | Cons: lead female performance; character unlikable; uneven immersion
