The Day of the Jackal is based on the Frederick Forsyth novel of the same name. The Jackal is hired to assassinate President Charles DeGaulle. When the French kidnap and torture a member of the OAS, they get the word Jackal out of him before he dies. With that slim clue and Investigator Lebel they go to work to track down this apparent assassin.
The film runs two parallel tracks between the French security forces and The Jackal, who always seems to be one step ahead. While the film covers in great detail the plans of The Jackal to carry out the perfect plot and the painstaking intelligence work on the part of the French government. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, building to the climactic Day of the Jackal when DeGaulle is to be assassinated.
With over 2 hours and 15 minutes screetime, this movie doesn't get dull, not for a second! Great movie!
