Starring Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Sidney Poitier, Diane Venora, Mathilda May, J.K Simmons, Richard Lineback, John Cunningham, Jack Black
If you can get past Diane Venora's laughable turn as a Russian agent (isn't that why we have Lena Olin?), you might find enough guilty pleasure in the cacophonous remake The Jackal to have a good time. Bruce Willis chews even more scenery as the villain than Richard Gere does as his Irish nemesis. Together they end up with quite an impressive body count -- watch especially for an early performance from the always entertaining Jack Black.
