    I love watching both Gere and Willis acting, so that movie was pretty neat ^^. Of course, kind of predictable, but than again, just watching all the cool moves of Willis, the loading of his gun, his self-consciousness, the history of Gere's character, the relationships... makes it great.

    This was a good movie. It had a good plot. Bruce Willis is good in this. Even Jack Black fans can watch this. He gets his arm blown off.

    I found the Jackal to be a fairly decent movie. I liked how well some of the Bruce Willis killing scenes were done.

    Although, Bruce is a vilain in this movie and he's one of my favorites actors, I didn't like his role. Though he's good whether vilain or hero in movies.

    On par with the original in my opinion..Willis and Gere set the stage for this duel. with fine support from Poitier..modernized for todays audiences with music and action..this is one suspenseful thriller...

    cool movie but contained a lot of stuff that basically ruined it. too much gore and some 'other' stuff. Richard Gere and Bruce Willis are awesome though!

    I liked elements of this movie. Like Richard Gere's accent, and the Jack Black scene was interesting to say the least.

    Cool Soundtrack, but for an assasin movie, this one surely had a couple of wrinkles, oh I guess people wont really notice it if they only see it once.

    This flick suffers from the one and only flaw from which a thriller cannot recover: it's boring. The climax is especially awful, w/ this supposedly-mastermind assassin doing INCREDIBLY STUPID things, leading to his demise (sorry to spoil it, but I'm saving you the time).

    Damn that queer Richard Gere. Such a load of bull. You can't help but root for the bad guy because,well, he's a super pimp in this movie. Nobody wanted Dick to win.

    This is the type of movie that I would see over and over again and never get tired of it. Bruce Willis was great in what I think is a gem of a thriller.

    to say bruce willis kicks ass is a dramatic understatement. brucie boy is amazing. plus, he fucks up jack black something fierce... but he had to kiss a dude to do it. sigh... oh well.

    Totally bad. The film didn?t respect the viewers at all. We were never properly told how the good guys got their information on the bad guys. Also a lot of the 'good' scenes were so obviously set up. Like they had good lines and the acting was good, but there was no reason for the scene or it could have been prevented. OMG and seriously Richard Gere?s character was so bad, firstly the accent was horrible, secondly it?s bullshit that he was allowed to be set free, I?m not too sure why he was in prison but it wasn?t like he was innocent and was in there for fun, he was a convict and should have served out his time.

    Richard Gere was very boring in this. The movie would have been nothing without Bruce Willis. He played the character so 'coldly'.

    This fairly standardized globe-trotting action thriller features a monotonous performance by Bruce Willis as the undetectable assassin known only as the 'Jackal' and a somewhat amusingly cast Gere as an IRA inmate who is released temporarily by FBI's Deputy Director (Sidney Poitier) on the condition that he aids the authorities in tracking the 'Jackal' down before somewhere high up gets whacked. What follows isn't particuarly surprising but it manages to hold interest for long enough.

    Apart from Richard Gere's god-awful Irish accent I liked this film, especially when Jack Black gets his hand shot off :o
