The day of the Jackal (2025); My thoughts about the show!
I finally finished The Day of the Jackal (2024–25 series). It’s not just an assassin vs. detective thriller; it's a packed action movie.

About the Jackal played by Eddie Redmayne;
Right from the start, Eddie Redmayne delivers a chilling portrayal of the assassin known as the Jackal, The master of disguise. Through flashbacks, we learn he was a UK special forces sniper who turned to contract killings after a traumatic incident overseas . He’s unemotional on the job, yet you see glimpses of a man torn between his professional detachment and his home life in Spain with his unsuspecting wife and son . That dual personality kept me hooked. “Is he a ghost? A killer? A husband?”
Opposite him is Bianca, the MI6 agent who’s not just skilled with firearms,she’s obsessive. Played by Lashana Lynch, Bianca is intense and complex. You sense this isn’t just a case to her; it’s become a mission that she's addicted to.
I loved How's the show navigated her life; strained marriage, teenage daughter, and disapproval at work, while still on the greatesy manhunt mission of her life.
She wasn't so bad, but her obsession made me dislike her at a point.
Too obsessed with work, she literally picked work over her family.
Well, her obsession later cost her a lot.
I'd highly recommend "The day of the Jackal". Superb performances from the characters. Definitely one of the best of 2025 so far.

STOPI'm going to give this film a chance just to see the lead actor. I love that actor!
That ending is something I'd never really get. She knew she was walking into a compromising situation by a corrupt superior, yet she went right ahead. Till today, that move of hers still doesn't make any sense, and it kind of canceled every other smart moves she did all through the movie.
