The Jackal

Brevitas

By Scott E. Brown

Director Michael Caton-Jones has created a confused jumble of bad accents, loud music, stale techno-babble and Richard Gere in a lifeless remake of the 1973 hit The Day of the Jackal. Traveling by minivan and rotating haircolors faster than Dennis Rodman, The Jackal (Bruce Willis) stalks a mystery target while the FBI scrambles to catch up with him, using the expertise of former IRA terrorist Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere). When Mulqueen and Jackal finally meet, sparks fly...and a gay kiss occurs. OK, not really, but it sure would make this dopey flick a lot more interesting and enjoyable.
