The Jackal is seen driving a white Alfa Romeo Spider
In The Day of the Jackal (1973), the Jackal also drives a white Alfa Romeo, despite an earlier model. Mentioned in Graham Norton and guests: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024).
The locations look gorgeous, the action sequences so far are gripping, and the performances are captivating
I certainly didn’t have Eddie Redmayne as the Jackal on my bingo card for streaming TV shows this year, but here he is. It’s great to see a classic novel with such a lavish production, and it all plays out really well, as far as I’m concerned.
On the other hand, it’s always nice to see Charles Dance flex his acting muscles
Like other reviewers, I don’t trust Lashana Lynch as an MI:6 agent and think she’s the wrong choice for the role. Ursula Corbero is lovely to watch on screen, although I’m afraid she’s a little underused.
