Title: Bruce Willis the Bad Guy
Review: Usually, we associate Bruce Willis with the many and varied good guy roles he has played, like John McLane in the "Die Hard" trilogy or Harry, the mission commander in "Armageddon".Not so with his title role in "The Jackal".It was incredibly surprising to me to see the lengths he goes to in order to avoid being captured by Sidney Poitier and Diane Venora, with help from Richard Gere, the only other man who can identify the Jackal. This is one guy you do not want to mess with.I'm willing to bet that playing this role was a nice change for Willis. The fun that he's having portraying this monster is frightneningly evident in several scenes.Not only that, Gere's character is a criminal as well....but I guess there really is a kernal of truth to that old expression, "the lesser of two evils."
