ah yes, a dude who played a trannie as the worlds deadliest assassin and a chick who looks like she works at McDonalds as the counter-hitman, this is some great casting Hollywood

just reversing the casting is more believable so of course thats probably the twist

Yes, if you were sending an assassin to kill the French president then you'd definitely send someone that looks like a stereotypical assassin. You fucking retard

I can't stand that actress and I feel like they're trying to force her down our throats

he should only take contracts in african countries and yell out "SHE STILL HAS A CLITORIS, HARAM ALLAHU AKHBAR" every time he spots her

it might have been vaguely interesting if she was the terrorist and used her skin color to blend in for specific contracts only (africa, caribbean, American /European big cities) while having gangs be her eyes and ears but nah, gotta go the boring lame route of white evil guy who looks like a faggot and big black linebacker chick who is the hero. She looks like fucking Marshawn Lynch lol

So I'm 5 maybe 6 episodes in , the gun porn , while exaggerated, is pretty cool. Scopes don't magically just work they have to be dialed in , etc.
Movies in the UK that involve guns are funny to me as an American growing up in the US South. It was funny with my British in-laws too. They are all scared of guns and I told them I was issued one at 10.

Now I am not buying that baboon monkey butt fugly ass woman as a MI6 agent. Her 'action' scenes are hilarious and they go out of their way not to show how gigantic her ass is.

Unexpected season finale.

Jogger Queen finally catches up with the Jackal, and it's game over for Devonte Kong.

Same here. Could they have found a more unattractive lead? Love the assassin, though.

This show was a huge surprise. Eddie Redmayne is a good actor but him being in this didnt make me want to watch. But I did based on the reviews here and it hooked me in right away. Was engaged almost every episode. They could of cut it down 1 or 2 episodes but overall was still very good and I binged it quickly. Highly recommend. Glad theres a season 2.

I thought this started strong, but floundered a bit in the middle. End was good though - overall I quite liked it.

Has nothing to do with the book, other than the name ( not really surprising - how many people even know who de Gaulle is now ? ).

The middle part that annoyed me is mostly that the Jackal started acting like an idiot to make the plot work - for someone with near mission-impossible disguise capabilities, he spends an awful lot of time running around with his regular face, for example.

Minor nitpick on that front too
How does a secret disguise makeup room in his house work ? He has to wait until his wife is not home every time he puts a disguise on so she doesn't see him walk out ? This might make sense if it was his house and she moved in, but for some reason they go with him having secretly?! added it to the house during renovations

I think it's where he builds them, not applies them. So he just pre-fabs them there and then packs them up. That's why he had his wife pack up the old man mask he had already made previously. He's never leaving his house in disguise.
