See the films the platforms disagree about most →After a high-profile assassination, intelligence agencies learn an infamous and elusive assassin known only as The Jackal has been hired for a new target. To track him down, they are forced to release a former IRA operative from prison, the only man who has ever seen the Jackal's face. The operative and an FBI agent lead an international manhunt to identify and stop the chameleon-like killer before he strikes.
