REVIEWS

Review by Al Lopez, CEBS (posted on 10-Feb-2008)

Realism. I always look for characters and a plot that are believeable. Of course my boundaries are wider in all directions. Edward Fox is uniquely cast for the role of Chacal. The part of Inspector Lloyd is also quite good. You know from the start that Lloyd is capable of winning. Somehow I am always looking for the fork in the road that eventually is the doom of Chacal. Richard Remy and Rod Taylor will be immortalized, now Edward Fox.

This is the very best in masterful storytelling. Fox's performance as a cool psychotic assassin is hypnotic in its intensity. Just a beautiful British/French collaboration with actors who really know what it means to be professional. It's the kind of movie that film aficionados crave but rarely experience.
