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.
