It's a polished and exciting thriller, mercifully unburdened with heavy political/philosophical digressions.

TV Guide
This is not a bad movie, it races by and entertains, after a fashion. It simply is not as good as it should have been.

Gannett News Service
Low on documentary conviction and political context, but an intriguing exercise in concealing the obvious.

I wasn't prepared for how good it really is: it's not just a suspense classic, but a beautifully executed example of filmmaking.

Product Description:
This suspense thriller about a daring plot to murder Charles De Gaulle is based on Frederick Forsyth's best-seller. The movie's suspenseful pace is tied to the incredibly careful and intricate planning the man code-named "the Jackal" does in preparation for the hit. This classic was watered down and remade in 1997 as The Jackal.
