About this movie

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.

Dożywotnio zapewnione miejsce na moim Top Ten Ever. Jeden z filmów których nie przeskakuje się pilotem jeśli się na niego trafi w telewizji. Emocjonujące, znakomite kino które się nie starzeje mimo kilku dekad w metryce.
