When I first read that Eddie Redmayne had been cast as The Jackal, like many others, I wasn't entirely sure of him in this role. However, well done, a masterly choice !! Beneath the exterior of a fairly unexceptional man, was an efficient, skilful Assassin a master of disguise, quietly unassuming yet highly dangerous. This series has been outstanding, matching the Bond films at their very best. Entertaining throughout with no weaker episodes. My only reservation was the casting of Bianca, who never seemed quite believable as The Intelligence Officer she was meant to be and never seemed to offer the part the intensity it required. However, I had been looking forward to this series for some time and it lived up to my expectations, I can't wait for series 2.

If you want a film that holds your attention throughout, with just enough suspense and a believable story - this is the one for you. Obviously the cast is outstanding - with Tom Hanks, Paul Newman Jude Law and early Daniel Craig, you can't go wrong. I have watched this film numerous times, yet never tire of it and there is always something that I failed to see before. I don't know anyone who hasn't enjoyed it. The photography is superb and just another arm of this film that delivers. With an exceptional cast, brilliant photography and excellent script what more do you need? Settle down and enjoy this film, you wont regret it !!
