The Jackal

Brevitas


Director Michael Caton-Jones presents a confused jumble of bad accents, loud music, stale techno-babble and Richard Gere in a lifeless remake of the 1973 hit The Day of the Jackal. Traveling by minivan and rotating hair colors faster than Dennis Rodman, the Jackal (Bruce Willis) stalks a mystery target while the FBI scrambles to catch up with him, using the expertise of Gere's former IRA terrorist Declan Mulqueen. When Mulqueen and the Jackal finally meet, sparks fly and a gay kiss occurs. OK, not really, but it sure would have made this dopey flick a lot more interesting.
