The Jackal is seen driving a white Alfa Romeo Spider

Narrative

The Jackal is an elusive assassin who makes his living by carrying out high-paying hits. He soon meets his match in a tough British intelligence officer who tracks him down in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe.

Reference: Graham Norton and guests: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024)

In The Day of the Jackal (1973) The Jackal also drives a white Alfa Romeo, albeit an earlier generation model. The Day of the Jackal (2024) offers a gripping narrative with Eddie Redmayne giving a standout performance, embodying the intensity of his character.

However, the casting of Lashana Lynch as Bianca Pullman is what lets the series down

The series’ cinematic style is refreshingly authentic, reminiscent of a time when storytelling felt grounded and realistic. His portrayal lacks the depth and expression needed for the role, which feels like a misstep.

Without this casting issue, the series would easily be a 10/10

Let’s hope future episodes keep the bar high and draw satisfying conclusions.
