The play moves the setting to the current era
Tale
Jackal is an elusive assassin who makes his living by carrying out hits against the highest bounty. He soon meets his match in the face of a tough British intelligence officer, who follows him on a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe. "Day of the Jackal" The novel is set in 1963 and involves the assassination of then French President Charles de Gaulle.
The budget was definitely there
A remake of Day of the Jackal (1973). If a series is called "Jackal" then some determination and quality must be provided. It does for the first 20 minutes, but then (as often happens) it goes downhill.
The scenery is good
Camera performance is good, not too much artificial judder, but a lot of blur. But the script is bad, often just stupid. A "Jackal" it just doesn’t show here, they should have named it “Car Bomber Day”.
not worth tuning in
About the actors: Eddie Redmayne does a serviceable job, but Lashana Lynch was the biggest mistake I’ve seen this year. New season of "Silo" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. For more information, check out our November calendar!
