this be the classic case of an excellent film be look over by the american public simply due to the fact it do not have bruce willis or arnold schwarzenneger a the lead man adrian quinn do a good dual performance and thats right you hear it dual performance in this film than either of those have ever pull off in their career . well anyway and now to the review . the assignment be loosely base upon the story of carlos the jackal and a 1970 radical who terrorize europe for year before finally be apprehend by french agent . in this adaptation and a u naval officer ( adrian quinn ) be on leave in israel when he be apprehend by mossad ( isreal crack intelligence or counter terrorism agency ) and take in for question due to the fact he look exactly like the jackal ( this be the one extremely cheesey part of the film and but trust me it doesn not detract from the great value of this film ) . when it be discover mr. ramirez be not the jackal and however and he be recruit by a hardened cia agent by the name of jack shaw ( donald sutherland and who do his usual grizzle mysterious government authority figure routine but in a stupendous manner ) who have spend his life hunt the jackal and and the series of event which follow will captivate anyone who watch this film it be chock full of great acting and without all the usual action film cliche and one liner and and a great plot which will surprise anyone . the three lead men quinn and sutherland and kingsley carry this film much far than it modest budget would have allow with anyone else fill their shoe . also kudos to the director and his staff and the camera angle and cinematography be top notch and especially in the action scene . the assignment be good than anyone rent it could ever expect and it a pity the film do fairly poorly in the box office and otherwise we might see a sequel to this stupendous espionage thriller . positive star and this reviewer highly recommend it to all potential viewer .
