Loosely based on Frederick Forsyth's 1971 novel of the same name, this version brings the action bang up to date with a cat and mouse story set in the modern day. Some things never change, however, and that goes for the steely, secretive contract killer played here by Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them).
Trying to stop him achieving his lethal objectives is MI6 officer Bianca, played by Lashana Lynch who so impressed as special agent 007 in No Time to Die. Can she stop him before the next victim is taken out by the Jackal's silenced sniper rifle?
