00:00I grew up with the Action DVD collection available at all good newsagents.
00:04And in that DVD collection, there was The Jackal.
00:07Action Collection, find the best action movies on DVD in the most powerful collection.
00:13Action Collection, issue 3, 2 DVDs, The Jackal and Puy d'Enfer, plus the booklet, €14.90 at your newsagent.
00:20There is a need to clarify.
00:22And I suspect that this is a very personal assessment, since my love for this film is based on childhood memories.
00:27But anyway, this whole column is just the fruit of my vision of Bruce Willis' work.
00:31And The Jackal, by golly, what a pleasure!
00:34So yes, in terms of script and direction, it doesn't invent anything.
00:36But already, Bruce Willis as a cold and bloodthirsty killer is very rare to be highlighted.
00:40For once, he's the bad guy.
00:42Methodical, ruthless, incredibly clever, facing an equally charismatic Richard Gere.
00:47I really like all the appearances he adopts in the film.
00:50Everything suits him so well it becomes annoying.
00:52We can also discover a young Jack Black, who will be killed in a scene that had such an impact on me when I was a kid.
00:57Bruce Willis as a boogie man, playing with his white mouse without feeling any remorse, is an unforgettable scene for me.
01:04I was in shock, without knowing why.
01:06But the violence of this scene, no more violent than any other, really struck me.
01:10And today, of course, I looked at it with a more critical eye.
01:12But it remains one of my Madeleines de Proust.
01:14Like many of you, with many objectively average works, but which gave you incredible moments.
01:20The beauty of cinema.
01:21THANKS.
01:22THANKS.
01:23THANKS.
01:24THANKS.
