The Jackal is seen driving a white Alfa Romeo Spider
In The Day of the Jackal (1973), The Jackal also drives a white Alfa Romeo, albeit an earlier model. Referenced in Graham Norton i gosti: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024).
The cast delivers very strong performances
The storytelling is solid, with twists and turns that keep you engaged, and the cinematography captures the eerie atmosphere perfectly. That said, I must point out that Ms.
Lynch’s acting was quite disappointing
Her performance came across as very one-dimensional, which unfortunately stood out in a cast full of strong, nuanced performances. It’s not about race: I can think of several brilliant black actresses who could have brought more depth and complexity to the role.
It’s certainly not perfect, but it’s worth checking out
It’s just that her performance didn’t fit in with the overall quality of the show, which was disappointing. Still, the show is worth watching for its story and the exceptional performances of the other cast members.
