Based on Frederick Forsyth's best-selling novel of political intrigue, The Day of the Jackal, tells of a cold, suave British assassin hired by the French OAS to kill General Charles de Gaulle. Nameless and faceless, the killer, known by the code name of Jackal (Edward Fox), relentlessly moves toward the date with death that would rock the world. The tension mounts as the methodical preparations of the Jackal are paralleled with the efforts of the police to uncover the plot, which gives the story non-stop, edge-of-your-seat suspense.

ମୂଲ୍ୟାଙ୍କନ ଓ ସମୀକ୍ଷା

Frederick Forsyth's groundbreaking novel is perfectly adapted for the screen. Edward Fox shines as the titular assassin; A cold, ruthless, mission-focused professional who is juxtaposed superbly by Michael Lonsdale as the dour, haggered French detective charged with the almost impossible task of tracking a nameless, faceless assassin. An engrossing cat and mouse game right up until the very end.

Riveting story line. Although set in 73 its as much a time piece as well as a great story. I read the book and saw the movie when it fist came out but on reviewing it was better than before and has withstood the passing of time remarkable.

Superb
