Critic Reviews of "Day of the Jackal"
Chicago ReaderNovember 01, 2007It's a polished and exciting thriller, mercifully unburdened with heavy political/philosophical digressions.
VarietyNovember 01, 2007The major asset of the film is that it succeeds in maintaining interest and suspense despite obvious viewer foreknowledge of the outcome.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006Low on documentary conviction and political context, but an intriguing exercise in concealing the obvious.
Chicago Sun-TimesOctober 23, 2004I wasn't prepared for how good it really is: it's not just a suspense classic, but a beautifully executed example of filmmaking.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003The details are minutely observed and, to me, just a bit boring.
EmanuelLevy.ComApril 23, 2007Like all Zinnemann's work, this meticulously crafted political thriller is involving but not exciting due to his detached perspective and the fact that we know the outcome, that De Gaulle wasn't assassinated, but it's cast with Europe's best actors.
Lawrence Journal-WorldJanuary 05, 2005Great assassination-based thriller
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)September 11, 2003A taut, suspenseful thriller that is as exciting as the first time you saw it. Fox is wonderful as the assassin; a great cat-and-mouse feature.
Filmcritic.comJune 29, 2003Delightfully intelligent and often irreverant, it's a good yarn and a good thriller to boot.
