Synopsis
The Jackal is an elusive assassin who makes a living committing murders for the highest possible sums. He soon meets his match in the form of a tenacious British Secret Service agent who tracks him down in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe.
The Jackal is seen driving a white Alfa Romeo Spider
In The Day of the Jackal (1973), The Jackal also drives a white Alfa Romeo, albeit an older model. Referenced in Graham Norton and Gosti: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024).
because the heroine (Lynch) isn’t great
Eddie Redmayne was absolutely brilliant in this role, he was perfect for all the characters he plays on the show and makes a great villain, but you’re always on his side… she comes across as incredibly arrogant and heartless, even to her own family and co-workers and you don’t want her to have him.
She shows no emotion at any point in the show and you end up hating her character
However, the Jackal – you see two sides, the murderous side of him but also the side he spends with his family where you understand him a little better. I loved the different shots in Europe and the fact that the Jackal knows these different languages.
