The Jackal

Hired by a powerful member of the Russian mafia to avenge an FBI sting that left his brother dead, a psychopathic hitman known only as The Jackal proves an elusive target for the people charged with the task of bringing him down: a deputy FBI director, a Russian MVK Major, and a jailed IRA terrorist who can recognize him.
Worth the watch but don't measure it against any really good thriller, this is just a no-brainer entertainment option. Back in the day, when Bruce Willis and Richard Gere were at the top of their game, this was much more interesting than it is today. Gere's accent is about as horrible as most (but not all) of his acting, but Bruce taking out Jack Black takes this from a 4/10 to 8/10 on that alone.
