Plot
The Jackal is an elusive assassin who makes his living by carrying out high-stakes assassinations. He soon meets his match in the form of a tenacious British intelligence officer who tracks him down in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe.
Mentioned in Graham Norton and guest: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024)
In the film The Day of the Jackal (1973), the Jackal also drives a white Alfa Romeo, albeit an earlier generation model. I had been eagerly awaiting The Day of the Jackal since I first heard about it.
Then I saw the trailers and my excitement grew even more
Well, after watching it, I can say that it definitely lived up to my expectations. Everyone knows what a great actor Eddie Redmayne is, but I still had my doubts about his performance.
I was wrong, because he absolutely killed it
He plays the anti-hero perfectly and you root for him to succeed. This series is best watched in its entirety because I can promise you that when you finish one episode you won’t be able to wait to start the next one.
I highly recommend this series
When Redmayne’s character (The Jackal) is on a mission you are on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. The Jackal reminds me of a James Bond spy who turned evil.
