Hermione L Apr 22, 2019 This movie suffers from so many problems that at the end, I was laughing at how cliched it was. Gere's accent appears and disappears at will. You get to see Bruce Willis briefly acting gay! We see appearances from Daniel Dae Kim, JK Simmons, and Jack Black, who we know is going to die, (not really a spoiler because he's acting like a jackass to an assassin 1 minute into his appearance.) Further, there are continuity errors like crazy! Far inferior to the book. Willis' character takes unnecessary risks to further his evilness, as opposed to acting like the assassin he is. He should have just taken in a sniper rifle and shot his target. Emotionally off, pacing off, this is a disaster of a movie. See more

Hermione G Feb 8, 2019 Bruce Willis carries the movie but nevertheless he carries it to an entertaining level. It's not simply watchable, nor is it captivating but it lies somewhere in between. Watching repeat viewings still evokes the humour or thrill that it musters from the first viewing, whether they be minor shingles down your spine or paralysis-inducing, fixating moments of pure cinematic adrenaline. Watch it. It's good. See more

Ron L Jan 5, 2019 Fair potboiler marred by padded & irrelevant scenes (which could be easily edited out), humorlessness and dankness, gore, and a few f-word expletives. Focus also is primarily on the activities of the villain, ruining opportunities for suspense-building, for which horror-movie-ish shlock-shocks substitute. B. Willis, in the title role, does have a few moments when he appears in various disguises which The Jackal assumes, but otherwise plays his role steely-eyed. Others have their lines and cues but are pretty stiff-faced too. See more

Theodore R Oct 6, 2018 I liked Bruce Willis as the bad guy in this movie, but otherwise, this movie is riddled with plot holes and miscast characters. There was a good premise to the movie but not enough follow through, It could have been a decent remake but it got slow moving in parts. It's a movie that's serviceable if it's on as backround noise, but if you look seriously at it, you'll realize there are better, more coherent assassin movies out there. See more

Draco P Jun 11, 2018 Once again self-important critics just don't get this movie. 5[5.

Draco R Mar 26, 2018 I found it to be thrilling, not to mention the guile of Bruce Willis character "JACKAL". Richard Gere was not impressive however loved to see Sidney Poitier and Diane Venora in action. See more
