Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThe special lightweight rifle that The Jackal concealed in a crutch was a genuine working model. Two of them were made for this movie; one was handed over to the British authorities, the other resides in the Paris Cinematheque.
- PatzerThe Jackal had taken an impression of the key to the apartment, and presumably had therefore made a copy. That means he could have simply slipped past the concierge while she was in the kitchen and gone up the stairs to the apartment without her knowing. That way, if anyone had come into the building to ask if she had seen anything, she would be there to answer "No", instead of being found lying on the floor.
- Crazy CreditsThe Cross of Lorraine, a symbol General Charles de Gaulle used during his lifetime, appears at the beginning of the film.
- VerbindungenEdited into The Clock (2010)
Ausgewählte Rezension
Superlative stuff
To put it simply, DAY OF THE JACKAL is THE thriller of the 1970s. With nary a car chase or shoot out in sight, it manages to cram as much excitement into its running time as the entire BOURNE trilogy thanks to the combined wonder of expert direction and a faultless script. Highly detailed and never less than compelling, this film follows the exploits of a professional assassin about to embark on his biggest job yet – and we follow him every painstaking step of the way.
Fox – entirely chilling and somehow commendable, despite his ultra ruthlessness – is a lead you almost (but not quite) want to win out come the end, purely because of his professionalism and his attention to detail. Michael Lonsdale works well as the detective cast opposite him, always human and likable, but the real winner is the script/directorial combo. Like SOUTHERN COMFORT, it's a film to keep you guessing until the final nail-biting moments and dare I say it, there's never a dull moment. An outstanding and exceptional piece of film-making.
