SPOILERS:
This is the type of movie that has a lot of the type of elements that I don't like in a movie. Long drawn out chases, lots of tension producing moments that go on(and on and on), and the kicker, the one who gets killed who isn't really dead. It's all in here and that's why this movie isn't exactly my thing.
I will say the cast does a good job. Willis is so evil, it's pretty chilling. But the movie seems to go on forever and the violence and endless chase scenes does nothing for me and neither does the plot in general. There is a mix of many other movies in this one.
The action sequences are pretty well done so if one likes action sequences they may appreciate those. But I didn't find much here that was really enjoyable. Although some might think that the movie's ability to be tension producing is a good thing, I felt it was almost to much so if that makes sense. The Jackal isn't unique with having that quality to it but it isn't the kind of movie where I'd think "wow" at the end. rather at the end I was just glad it was over. I've seen a lot of movies and wouldn't call this one of the worst or dreadful or anything like that. But I have no desire to see it again. I'd rate it around a 5.
