The Day Of The Jackal Review: Great Start, But Grows Too Silly

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve got to say that “The Day of the Jackal” is a legendary title in Hollywood, thanks to the iconic 1973 film bearing the same name. This classic flick, directed by Fred Zinnemann and adapted from Frederick Forsyth’s novel, is often hailed as one of the greatest cop movies ever made. The story revolves around an assassin known as the Jackal (played brilliantly by Edward Fox), hired by the terrorist organization OAS with a mission to eliminate Charles de Gaulle.
