OLIVER RECOMMENDS… THE DAY OF THE JACKAL (2024) The Day of the Jackal opens with a record- distance sniper shot, throwing us straight into the core of the action. Based on the classic 1971 book of the same name by Frederick Forsyth, the Sky Original series features an ensemble cast including Eddie Redmayne, Lashana Lynch and Úrsula Corberó. Boosted by its excellently
crafted cinematography and production design, the show is a stylised take on the Jackal’s journey across Europe. As the Jackal is pursued by British intelligence officer Bianca, we follow him across various landscapes and terrains, delving into his past. Fans of the 1973 film, and spy thrillers in general, will revel in its fast-paced plot and tense premise, offering a cinematic experience despite being a TV series.
