With its high-intensity plot about an attempt to assassinate French President Charles de Gaulle, the bestselling novel by Frederick Forsyth was a prime candidate for screen adaptation. Director Fred Zinnemann brought his veteran skills to bear on what has become a timeless classic of screen suspense. Not to be confused with the later remake The Jackal starring Bruce Willis (which shamelessly embraced all the bombast that Zinnemann so wisely avoided), this 1973 thriller opts for lethal elegance and low-key tenacity in the form of the Jackal, the suave assassin played with consummate British coolness by Edward Fox. He's a killer of the highest order, a master of disguise and international elusiveness, and this riveting film follows his path to de Gaulle with an intense, straightforward documentary style. Perhaps one of the last great films from a bygone age of pure, down-to-basics suspense (and a kind of debonair European alternative to the American grittiness of The French Connection), The Day of the Jackal is a cat-and-mouse thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat until its brilliantly executed final scene (pardon the pun), by which time Fox has achieved cinematic immortality as one of the screen's most memorable killers. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of The Day of the Jackal

excuse me while i pick my jaw off the floor
realistic thrills..this movie is amazing and must be seen...a new dvd transfer would be nice too

Wow, this movie is unlike any other...you root for the killer...
You actually feel like you are watching a professional assassin, minute by minute, this movie is f*&king cool, man...movies don't get better than this, sorry, but this is definitely one of the great ones, ever...

One of the Greatest Movies Ever Made
This film version of Fredrick Forsyth's best seller Day of the Jackal is incredible. Filmed on location in Europe, the story follows a French terrorist organization's (the OAS) plot to assassinate Charles DeGaulle following the French pullout from Algeria. The OAS had been dealt quite a blow following a previous attempt on DeGaulle's life and now its only option is to hire an international assassin played by Edward Fox. <

>The storyline and the subtle ways the director shows the passage of time are marvelous. Edward Fox truley shows how cold and ruthless the Jackal is, and the methods he would go to get his ends. <
> <
>The modern version of this film (the Jackal starring Richard Gere) doesn't even come close to the cinnematic masterpiece that Director Fred Zinnemann presents in Day of the Jackal. This is one film that one can watch over and over, it is a true classic.
