The Jackal was seen driving a white Alfa Romeo Spider
In The Day of the Jackal (1973), the Jackal also drives a white Alfa Romeo, albeit an older model. Reference to Graham Norton and others: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne/Blossoms (2024).
The cast gives very fine performances
The storytelling is solid, with twists and turns to keep you engaged, and the cinematography perfectly captures the eerie atmosphere. However, I must point out that Ms.
Lynch’s performance was absolutely stunning
I found her performance to be 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 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.
