Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFrederick Forsyth, who wrote the novel "The Day of the Jackal", insisted his name be taken off the credits of this film, which is why it is billed as "based on the screenplay".
- Goofs(at around 57 mins) When the weapon is first test fired from the mount and misses, the problem is unlikely to have been with the mount and more likely to be poor alignment of the targeting system.
- Quotes
Valentina Koslova: She's Basque, isn't she?
Declan Mulqueen: Aye.
Valentina Koslova: They say Basques live by the vendetta. If they hate someone it's to the death. It's the same when they love.

Featured review
Poor remake, okay as a stand alone
I saw this back in the day. Unrecognisable from THE DAY OF THE JACKAL, of course, and not a patch on it, but serviceable enough for a late 1990s suspense/action/thriller. You can tell Willis is really enjoying something other than his jaded action star role and the Jack Black scene is worth the price of admission alone.
