Micah Fischer (TecWzrD)

Eddie Redmayne does a decent job reimagining the jackal, however, there are many things in this show that are beyond belief. In the first episode, the "practice" shots directly above security and not being noticed by them or the hotel guests are implausible. Why does he blow everything up in the early episodes and wipe weapons down or use chemicals to hide his traces when in later episodes we find out MI6 has his fingerprints and DNA but can't find a match? Why would his sniper team's death be so classified that the top British agency is left in the dark? Why did nobody question why the bodies of two people on that team were never found? Why do some distance shots take many seconds while others are "instant"? e.g., his first shot takes about 5 seconds to hit the target, but from a small boat (which is also highly unbelievable) it's almost instant from about the same distance over two miles. The locations and filming are great, and the cast's acting is good. Eddie doesn't pull off being charming but certainly pulls off being a psychopath. Overall it's not horrible, but requires you to sustain any logic or reasoning in the story and just "go along with it."

Generally a great show with a simple plot and interesting characters. The writing is somewhat weak when it comes to POTUS and her assistant. The two antagonists make the show for me as both are really good at being evil.

Bad acting, bad fight choreography, and even worst effects. Anybody with even slight knowledge of After Effects could have produced much more realistic gunfire and explosions. The plot was beyond stupid and the ending was even worse. Loved Ryan in the Shooter series, but this looks like it was made in the 80's with a high school photography class with a budget of $500. Don't waste your time on this trash.

Fun action movie with a some heart and a little laughter. Not sure why it got such negative reviews. Action was very good and believable, plot was good, and acting was great all around. It's currently on Netflix and worth the watch.
