On the plus side; Jack Black is violently killed lol.

Sometimes you get lucky when you switch around on the TV and find the start of a movie...and sometimes you don't. The Jackal was one of the movies I had on Laserdisc back in the day. I seem to remember it somewhat better than it apparently is. Bruce Willis with a LOT of bad disguises. Richard Gere with the most laughable Irish accent ever. Sidney Poitier is just old. The list goes on and on... The best part in the whole movie was the rather violent killing of Jack Black's character. I bet there's a lot of people that has dreamed about doing just that... To be a little serious...If you want a good movie experience...look elsewhere. The Jackal is just mediocre, and you don't really lose anything by skipping it...

a good movie ruined by a mediocre actor, Richard Gere, he was the Pedrite Pascale of his time. so they made the movie around him, and Bruce willis performance was weak but no mediocre as richard gere A bad casting probably,Tommy lee Jones or harrison ford as Declan and John Travolta as The Jackal, but directors selected Gere because he was famous with the ladies but he never was a good actor, no one remember his roles and ruined this movie with his fake accent.

the most insane succession of terrible wigs ever seen in a single movie

Mediocre action thriller with a big miscast (Richard Gere). You can skip this flick without second thoughts because there are so many better action movies available!
