When it ended, he returned to Britain, unemployed and unsure of what to do next. He said: “I came back at Christmas ’69, completely broke. I don’t have the slightest chance of getting a job, I don’t have a flat, I don’t have a car and I don’t have any savings. Then I had this crazy, crazy idea to write a novel. “Everyone said you had to be kidding or crazy because the chances of me seeing it published were hundreds to one, even thousands to one, to be in the movie.” 1973, but the role went to a then-unknown Edward Fox because director Fred Zinnemann thought he could go unnoticed in the crowd (Air Mail: Denzel Washington/Paul Mescal/Saoirse Ronan/Eddie Redmayne / Blossoms (2024) Lynch is completely out of it). Her acting is weak. Why was she cast in this role when there are so many actresses who could be better? It leaves me confused. His character is not interesting, it’s just another role of an obsessive agent. Eddie Redmayne can do anything, his acting range is impressive, from stage drama to musicals to movies. He never disappoints. In this role, he is solid in everything he does. The plot is interesting and gripping… it’s funny how we root for The Jackal… Not Agent M.I. 6. The location of the series is impressive and the plot is a high-octane thrill ride. It doesn’t match the original, but it’s a worthy adaptation for our times.
