Disadvantages: murder scenes not always realistic

The OAS is losing financing, losing support and losing members. Fast. The new operations chief, Colonal Marc Rodin, plans the hit that will work. It will bring back the supporters to bring him to power. The plan of the Jackal was launched.

The Jackal was an anonymous Englishman, outstanding in his profession - assassin. Yet the police did not know about him. He was the ideal candidate for the OAS's work.

The French authorities must put many plans into action to try to hunt down and stop this Jackal - a hunt that goes on right to the last moment...

Based on the book of the same name by Fredrick Forsythe this is a superbly acted film, hardly what you would call an action packed thriller, but its subtelties and intricate detail will have you riveted up to the final scene when everything comes to the hilt.

Edward fox is superb as the smooth, cool and stylish hitman who i guarantee by the end of the film you will want him to complete his task, but will one of the best security teams in the world stop him before its too late....
