Title: Done much better in 1972
Review: I was not present at the deliberations of the committee that manufactured this movie. But I think their decisions were guided by two principles: eschew originality and embrace cliche. And they held to these principles with an admirable consistency, even at the expense of entertainment and coherence. If you like drama, tension, and intelligence more than you like armor-piercing incendiary ordnance and computer technology, then see 1972's Day of the Jackal. It is still entertaining after all these years.
