Excellent film until the ridiculous ending


Excellent film, right up to the ridiculous ending.

Agreed that The Day of the Jackal was superior but someone somewhere obviously decided that a vehicle was needed for the talentless plank that is Bruce Willis.

How did Isabella know where Declan and The Jackal were????

Because he talked to her on a cellphone. How is it that she happened to be in Washington DC, escape from protective custody, and appear on the scene before any police officer? Movie logic. Why didn't Willis just shoot Maggie and then murder Declan? Movie logic.

Then again, this is the movie where people hold meetings in large glass offices in the center of HQ, a person can fire off gigantic uranium rounds without puncturing his eardrums.
