a5c7b9f00b The United States is trying to help the New Russia in its war against organized crime. Presently, they are after Terek Murad, a deadly crime boss. They get evidence against one of Murad's people who is also his brother for murder so they try to arrest him. But the man tries to kill Russian cop, Major Koslova so she kills him. Murad seeks revenge against the ones who killed his brother, FBI agent Carter Preston and Russian Major Valentina Koslova, and wanting to send a message to America about interfering in matters he believes are none of its concern. Thus, he hires "The Jackal," an international assassin, to kill a prominent American. The Jackal tells Murad to go into hiding till the job is done. When Preston and the Russian police learn that Murad has gone into hiding; they wonder why? So they grab Murad's man and under intense interrogation he mentions the Jackal. Preston knows about the assassin. Koslova confirms it because the Russians have used him. She also tells Preston that Murad's man had info on the Director of the FBI which makes Preston think, the Director is the target. So he informs the Director who chooses not alter his schedule or add security. He tells Preston to find him quietly. So Preston needs to find someone who's seen the Jackal and unfortunately there are not that many and most of the ones they know of are dead. There's a woman who knows him but she's vanished so he tries to enlist the help of a man who might know where she is, Declan Mulqueen, an imprisoned IRA sniper. Mulqueen refuses to help till he learns about the Jackal and tells them he knows who he is, so they let him help them. But finding the Jackal is not going to be easy.
Russian mobster Terek Murad has declared open season on the Russian militia and the United States FBI over the shooting of his brother in a Moscow nightclub. He hires "The Jackal" – an elusive, nasty assassin – to kill FBI Director Donald Brown. Present at the shooting of Murad's brother were FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston and Major Valentina Koslova of the Russian militia. Nearly no one has ever seen The Jackal, save for Declan Mulqueen, an imprisoned IRA sniper. Upon learning that the Director Brown is a target, Preston and Koslova enlist the services of the reluctant Mulqueen to track down the Jackal before he can assassinate Brown.
This is a remake of an earlier film: "The day of the Jackal," which was far more believable and intense. The weapon used in the 1st film was very small and deadly, yet could be hidden very easily. In the 2nd film, the weapon in question looks like it belongs on a Bradley Fighting Vehicle! Also in the 1st film the detective solves the case; here we have An imprisoned Irish terrorist teaching a highly experienced FBI agent his job! A really "badly written" scene was where the 3 FBI agents have moved a family out of their house and the FBI folks are "cleaning up.(?) You actually have an FBI agent taking out the garbage! Trust me, agents don't have the time for this. Also,soonthey noticed the 1st agent was missing and probably dead, they would have vacated the house and called for back-up! They should have also cut the speaker wires on the sound system that the Jackal was using to distract them! Yes, entertaining, but no wheregoodthe original…and remember that "lethal spray" that Willis used on his van to kill a "hijacker?" Nobody knows what it was. Well I'll tell you: it was "Anti-credibility spray" that destroys all credibility in any film that it's in…hooray for Hollywood!
So many of these kinds of movie depend on action and adrenaline and little else. That's more or less what I was expecting with this story about an ice cold assassin knownThe Jackal (Bruce Willis) who's hired by a Russian gangster to kill a high profile American political figure in revenge for the FBI's involvement in taking out his brother in Moscow. My expectations were exceeded. The main problem with action/thrillers is that they often have little in the way of story. Some would argue that this is a standard type of suspense movie, I suppose, but I found the story interesting, and the characters more fleshed out than one would usually find with this type of movie.<br/><br/>Although called "The Jackal" the movie revolves more closely around the figure of Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere) - an Irish terrorist jailed in the United States who's recruited to help the FBI find The Jackal before he pulls off the plot. Gere was quite good in the role, and the story filling in his background gave a plausible reason for why he would become so involved with the FBI's efforts. Yes, they made some promises to help him, but there's more going on. It's personal between Mulqueen and The Jackal, which perhaps gives everything a bit more of an edge. At times, the movie looksthough it's just about to fall into unnecessary romanticism with Mulqueen's relationships with a couple of women in the story. Valentina (Diane Venora) - a Russian agent who's involved in the search for The Jackal - and Isabella (Mathilda May) - a former Basque terrorist now living a quiet family life in the US - both lookthough they're ready to "get physical" at times with Declan, but the relationships never go there, which I appreciated. Sidney Poitier was solidCarter Preston, Deputy FBI director.<br/><br/>Generally speaking, I thought this went above and beyond what one would normally expect from the genre. The level of post-Cold War American/Russian co-operation depicted struck meperhaps a bit too naive or hopeful, and one of The Jackal's identities (the Canadian "Charlie") grated on me (as a Canadian) a little bit. He came acrosstoo much of a stereotypical American perception of Canadians, saying "eh" in every other sentence and using an accent that I've never actually heard in Canada. The same could be said for Jack Black's gun- dealing Canadian "Ian" who's also a bit of comic relief. Nationalistic sensitivities aside, however, I found this a very enjoyable, fast-paced and interesting movie.
At best, The Jackal is an uninspired, by-the-numbers action thriller.
During a joint FBI/MVD sting, Major Valentina Kozlova (<a href="/name/nm0893204/">Diane Venora</a>) of the Russian MVD (Ministry for Internal Affairs) shoots and kills mobster Ghazzi Murad (<a href="/name/nm0411570/">Ravil Isyanov</a>). To retaliate, Murad's brother Terek (<a href="/name/nm0371342/">David Hayman</a>) hires a shadowy international assassin known onlythe 'Jackal' (<a href="/name/nm0000246/">Bruce Willis</a>) to kill FBI Director Donald Brown (<a href="/name/nm0192351/">John Cunningham</a>). Meanwhile, FBI deputy director Carter Preston (<a href="/name/nm0001627/">Sidney Poitier</a>) and an imprisoned IRA sniper/terrorist Declan Mulqueen (<a href="/name/nm0000152/">Richard Gere</a>), the only one who has ever seen the Jackal, are charged with identifying and stopping him. The Jackal is a loose remake of the 1973 film The Day of the Jackal, both of which are based on a 1971 novel, The Day of the Jackal, by English writer Frederick Forsyth. The novel was adapted by Scottish-American screenwriter Kenneth Ross for the 1973 film. American novelist/screenwriter Chuck Pfarrer loosely adapted Ross' screenplay for The Jackal. $70 million (US). In The Day of the Jackal, he only asked for $500,000 (US) to kill French president Charles de Gaulle. No definitive answer is given in the movie. Viewers have suggested several reasons, such(1) Lamont got greedy, asking for $100,000 beyond the agreed-upon price of $40,000 and, in all likelihood, would have continued to blackmail the Jackal for more money in the future, (2) Lamont delivered a less-than-perfect weapon (the sighting range was off by 3 millimeters), (3) once he shot off Lamont's arm, the Jackal had to tie up the loose end, (4) Lamont was just plain annoying, and (5) the Jackal basically took out everybody who could become a threat to his identity. After the Jackal fails to assassinate the First Lady (<a href="/name/nm0002128/">Tess Harper</a>), he makes a run for the Subway, changing his disguise along the way. Declan follows him. When the Jackal notices Declan getting closer to him, he leaps across the train tracks in front of the oncoming train and begins to run back down the tracks. Declan continues to follow until the two finally come face-to-face on the platform where the Jackal has shot a guard and taken a young girl hostage. To save the girl, Declan is forced to drop his gun and kneel. Justthe Jackal is about to shoot Declan, a shot is fired and the Jackal falls to the platform, a bullet in his neck. The Jackal's gun goes off, hitting Declan in the shoulder, and the camera pans to show Isabella (<a href="/name/nm0000528/">Mathilda May</a>) holding a gun. She goes to help Declan, who notices the dying Jackal slowly pulling a gun from his pocket. Declan grabs Isabella's gun and fires a dozen bullets into the Jackal, killing him. Days later,Declan and Preston watch, a pine box is lowered in a grave, and Preston wonders whether they'll ever know who the Jackal really was. As Declan and Preston leave the cemetery, Preston apologizes for not being able to get Declan a pardon and reminds him of the key given to him by Isabella. In the final scene, Preston goes off to buy himself a coffee, leaving Declan to walk down the road in the opposite direction. It's called Superpredators by Massive Attack.
