A lot better than the rating

This movie is well made, features some fine acting, and always stays suspenseful. It's more a 7,5 than a 6,5. IMDB rating fails here.

Maybe it's only after seeing the original, The Day Of The Jackal, that one realizes just how miserable this generic shoot-'em-up flick is.

But probably not - it's sh-tty in any context. With cheesy acting and hardly any suspense at all.
