a long film that feels very short
By Roosterw (1 review) from London , 18 Oct 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
I can just recommend everyone to not be deterred by the length of the movie, as it does not feel boring or long or dragged out at any moment. It was as entertaining, exhilarating and enjoyable as if you would watch Season 1 of Rome back to back in the cinema. Highly recommendable- Was this review helpful to you?

By JAFO-67 (1 review) , 05 Jan 2013A great film but worth trying to see in full - this is just an edit. The full 5 1/2 hr mini series is much better.- Was this review helpful to you?

Up there with Mesrine, and The Godfather
By DerekEynon (3 reviews) , 28 Dec 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
Up there with Mesrine, and The Godfather, this is an absolute classic. Excellent performances from all, a gripping true story and great period detail.- Was this review helpful to you?

Great - well worth renting
By a customer , 15 Dec 2012Superb film, really nicely shot and acted without descending into cliches or overtly over glamorising the whole story. Definitely worth watching, only caveat would be it's not an easy film to just slob out in front of and switch off - requires some attention.- Was this review helpful to you?

You wouldn't mess with the Jackal.
By jeffbubbs (36 reviews) , 11 Sep 2012Really really good.
thoroughly entertaining film, with brilliant acting. The eras were depicted with great authenticity, though god knows how they got to the scene of any crime in the 70's with those transit vans. Great nudity. This is a looooong film though.- Was this review helpful to you?
