Jackal is seen driving a white Alfa Romeo Spider
Story
Jackal is an elusive assassin who makes his living by carrying out high-stakes assassinations. He soon meets his match in the form of a tenacious British intelligence officer who tracks him down in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe.
Mentioned in Graham Norton and guest: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024)
In The Day of the Jackal (1973), Jackal also drives a white Alfa Romeo, albeit an earlier generation model. The Day of the Jackal (2024) offers an engaging narrative, with Eddie Redmayne giving a standout performance, embodying the intensity of his character.
However, the casting of Lashana Lynch as Bianca Pullman takes the focus away from the show
The filmmaking style of the series is refreshingly authentic, recalling a time when storytelling felt grounded and realistic. Her performance lacks the depth and expression required for the role, which feels like a misstep.
Without this casting issue, the show would easily earn a 10/10
I hope future episodes keep up the high standards and deliver satisfying conclusions. The new season of Silo is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
