The Jackal (1997)
7/10
I was rooting for the bad guy!

Never have I ever wanted the bad guy to succeed more in a movie than in the Jackal! Bruce Willis plays the assassin hired by the biggest gangster in all of Russia. The Jackal is this international assassin who's cool as a cucumber no matter who he's dealing with and is not the least bit intimidated by the Russian Mob Boss who he makes a deal with for an insane amount of money. Bruce Willis's character is constantly changing identities like the bad guy version of the saint. One of the coolest assassins I've ever seen played out. As you can guess the most disappointing part of this movie is that the lame good guys somehow stop this super-cool and dubious villain from his mission. I believe Matthew McCoughnahay would say "It'd be a lot cooler if he got away with it!" Great movie anyways.
