La muerte del chacal

The main reason to watch "La Muerte del Chacal" is to see Fernando Almada give his best acting performance in his most unusual role. It's a crime thriller with "horror" music and heavy breathing. Highlights include a hand to paw fight between Mario Almada and a Doberman pinscher; a high speed chase, but not in cars but speed boats; Lizzeta Romo as a police sergeant going under cover to lure out the mad killer; the Almada brothers fighting each other; and Mario making sure that he investigates a strip club just in case some suspects might be lurking there! The ever attractive Olivia Collins(who's also in the similar genre films, Terror y Encajes Negros & El Hombre que Volvio de la Muerte) tries hard not to get her hair mussed up or clothes torn as the girlfriend of Fernando, but she does manage to lose her high heel shoes! Christina Molina plays the part of Mario's wife. Film locations are not given in the credits but the setting is the United States. One car is shown backing up with its Texas license plate very visible.
