The day of the jackal is my favourite novel of all time. And the 1973 film did absolute justice to it. This adaptation can hardly be called an adaptation because they have just taken the title and the rest of the story and the characters have nothing in common with what made them so memorable. Jackal was meticulous, ruthless, suave this Jackal has none of those traits. Add to that the irrelevant family soap opera and ridiculous subplots. I tried watching it as much as i could for the love of the canon but i couldnt. Two things I could have lived without in 2024 Gladiator 2 and this series!
