Bruce Willis ignores the multiple disguise disaster that was "The Saint" and does his own silly dress-up film, "The Jackal". A remake of "The Day of the Jackal", this film garnered only lukewarm reviews and a limp box office reaction, yet it gets a DVD release fit for a classic.
Lots of moody blue tinted scenes feature in the film, which the DVD transfer handles with sharpness and high levels of detail.
The 5.1 sound mix deals well with both subtle atmospherics and big effects. One show-off scene is when Willis decides to put his supergun through its paces, driving it right through your living room.
Director Michael Caton-Jones sits in for an audio commentary that concentrates on technical issues and on the large number of location shoots it took to make the movie.
Also on the DVD is a 'making of' documentary that takes you around all the locations. Bruce Willis pops up in most of them and seems happy to mug away to the camera. Forty-six minutes later and you'll be left scratching your head and wondering just how much money was spent on this movie.
