    It turns out that the director of this film is Kinneyman of "Noon", which is quite advanced with the times. A faithful adaptation of the original work in every detail, I miss the era of hardcore suspense films that did not stipulate that 20 minutes must be fought every time and the music must be rumbling. However, although it is quiet and documentary, the use of full English dialogue itself has sacrificed half of the authenticity, but it may be difficult to make Edward Fox speak French without...

    The overall is okay, the rhythm is substantial, and the game between the two sides is balanced, but in the end, the baroness was killed, and how did they find out that they were hiding in the building and waiting for these later...

    The restored film is so beautiful, the exposure is super accurate, the color is very mild, the latitude is very high, the light is not too bright, the dark is not too dark, it is really comfortable to watch. The plot is closely linked and rich. The police and bandits are fighting wits and bravery. After you sing, I will come on stage. After all, it is a movie from the 1970s. From the current point of view, there must be loopholes. You should be more tolerant and you will find it. There are some...

    The shaping of the killer assassin is clean and neat, and there are also a few powerful scenes. But the key is that the movie has a well-known ending, and there are no unexpected suspense advancements in the process, so the whole is still a runaway...

    The process of the killer himself and the state machine meeting each other's tricks is very beautiful. No suspense was deliberately created except for the final killing moment. The effect of each step of the two sides was described concisely and clearly, but the whole was still full of tension. Sure enough, the bigger and more dangerous the job, the more one should do it alone. Watching the male protagonist nimbly evade crisis after crisis like a loach is mysterious and satisfying. Was it a...

    Great, sophisticated assassination tutorials for dignitaries, a fight between a jackal and a whole set of state machinery. There is an interesting detail. When the Jackal was talking about buying and selling with a gun expert, the magazine picture on the table was a picture of...

    A little bit of inadequate dog blood adaptation

    Forsyth's novel is famous for its flow of details, and there are absolutely no unreasonable sensational passages, and most of this film is also made calmly and self-controlly, and it is a novel samādhi, but it is a pity that it has been adapted in a random place.

    In the movie, the jackal drove into...

    Luck is also part of strength

    It seems that in the West, "Jackal" is a nickname that is more familiar to bad guys. Whether it is a killer or a drug lord, they all like to call themselves jackals. This is an interesting phenomenon.

        I really like movies that describe the Cold War period. I don’t know why. It may be because...

The Day of the Jackal quotes

  • Lebel: The time elapsed from the first to the last shot was 7 seconds. In all, more than 140 shots were fired. 7 bullets pierced the President's car, one coming within an inch of his head, but by a miracle, neither he or anyone else was hurt. Six months later, most of the conspirators had been caught and tried. Their leader, Col. Bastien-Thiry, has been sentenced to death. At the last moment, his lawyer applies one more time for a stay of execution.

    Lawyer: The appeal for clemency has been turned down. There is nothing more that I can do. I am sorry.

    Bastien-Thiry: There is no need.

    Lawyer: For heaven's sake, man, don't you realize that you are going to be shot?

    Bastien-Thiry: You don't understand. No French soldier is going to raise a rifle against me.

  • Denise: Crisis?... .What crisis?
