Movie Review

Grade: A- The Jackal is an extremely cunning, suspenseful film! Bruce Willis is lethal and cold-hearted, Richard Gere sensational. Sidney Poiter's character is believable and well scripted. The Jackal keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time, as long as you don't mind a few overly gruesome parts. Read the full movie review
