The Jackal
How do you stop an assassin who has no identity?
A ruthless assassin 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 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 enlist the aid of an imprisoned Irish terrorist. These unlikely allies enter a global race against the clock to stop the mysterious mercenary before he can complete his deadly assignment.

A fast-paced, underrated reworking of the often-sluggish Day of the Jackal. Willis is good as the villainous title character. More enjoyable than anyone wanted to admit.
Bruce Willis, one of our most uneven actors, gives a terrific performance this time as that shadowy figure known as the Jackal. At first even the FBI is not sure whether the Jackal is a real person or just a myth. With a new identity and look every five minutes in the picture, it is no wonder that the Jackal has remained so elusiveThe Jackal - Hammer1701
A great film with a good plot and good twists. Richard Gere shows both a sensetive side and a cold blood side. Bruce Willis show a host of different personailties. Good location shots as well. This is a movie you can watch more then once.Jack Black even makes an appearance as a bad guy.The Jackal - TwoBoggySwampers
This is a great action thriller. The storyline was well written and it has a steady pace from start to finish. It's an action filled cat-and-mouse movie with lots of twists and turns to keep it interesting. Bruce Willis does an excellent job at being a cold and calculated bad guy and Richard Gere pulled off his role as an Irishman rather well. This one is definitely zip worthy.
