In The Day of the Jackal (1973), The Jackal also drives a white Alfa Romeo, albeit an earlier generation model.. The Day of the Jackal (2024) offers a gripping narrative with Eddie Redmayne delivering a standout performance, embodying the intensity of his character.
However, the casting of Lashana Lynch as Bianca Pullman detracts from the series
The series’ cinematic style is refreshingly authentic, reminiscent of a time when storytelling felt grounded and realistic. Her portrayal lacks the depth and expression required for the role, which feels like a misstep.
Without this casting issue, the series would easily be a 10/10
Hoping future episodes maintain the high bar set and deliver a satisfying conclusion.. A new season of "Silo" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
