3 important question(no trolling ,serious questions) :


1. who was the Person the jackal was in contact with when in the Internet cafe?

2.how did this particular Person know that the jackal is being followed by hijackers or being followed at all?

3.what made those Hijackers select the jackal/his identity?

the one Thing i could answer to myself is that someone on the Internet/gun sale gave a tip about the big ass gun,but....if anyone knows or at least got a clue please tell me
*one of my favorite movies and one of willis' best acting btw*

Trolls dont have an opinion....just an urge to compensate their frustration about themselves!!!

1. A trusted hacker spy of his, I always believed. Assasins that clever would have cyber networks to communicate, and help each other out for money-sharing their services.

2. Again, he is a spy who "had his back" in all of the movements. I.E When he travels he keeps a track of any web presences. In the movie he tells Jackal those hijackers compromised the shipping companies files to discover his identity.

3. The HiJackers compromised the shipping logs basically. They knew the polish gun was coming to Canada. They believed from the photo (Mr Murdoch), and his demeaner once they scoped him out, this guy was maybe a collector, and not anyone dangerous! So they got aggressive in pursuing him.

It all makes sense really. People want to find plotholes, but these HiJackers just seemed like organised crime types with their own hackers helping to find marks to steal from.

No problem! I like that you can listen to reason and not just have some troll-like arguing over "plot" like many on this site (unfortunately).

Much respect :) Enjoy!
