content: Dear God, what a bad movie. Based very loosely on Frederick Forsyth's book, THE DAY OF THE JACKEL, this travesty is filled with ridiculous plot devices, bad acting, cardboard characters, and a "professional killer" who is anything but professional. See the original 1973 movie starring Edward Fox for a real film. This version is saved from one star here only because of Sidney Poitier. A waste of time and money.
