The Day of the Jackal - Exploring Politics and Bullets(S1E01)

The master of disguise, an assassin which is played by Eddie Redmayne, a well deserved role in the first episode appeared in the identity of an old man in Munich, a worker in a company. His plan was to have an access to the building and kill Elias, the son of a politician.

Using the identity of the old man, he was able to access the buildings, the workers there noticed some unusual behaviors from him, but they had no idea since the jackal was so good with his craft. Using his silent gun he was able to pin down some staffs without causing any alarm. His target was on the run, so he had to chase and he shot him, he had the opportunity give him a headshot, but he drifted it to the wall.

Plot twist, his target was Elias's father, Manfred Fest, and who sent him to assassinate Manfred?, it was still Elias. Now you can see why you can't predict the move of a jackal, let me reveal the plot. He was paid by Elias to kill his father, Manfred a big politician but it was very tough to access this politician. So what he did was to shoot his son in the leg, which he will be admitted to the nearest hospital there and surely his father will come to pay a visit.

That was a very nice plan that brought success. After booking a room in an hotel, 2800 -3800 meters away from the hospital, he was able to snipe the politician with a custom made Gun. One interesting thing is that, their gun unpredictable, it can be made out of wood and still snipe a long range. This gun was made in patches and formed to a travelling box, who could have thought of that?. He left the hotel with no trail.

The M16 agent, Bianca pullman was very determined to track down this killer, she was very determined and she has an experience with snipers as a former army official. With all obstacles encountered she came up with how the custom gun was arranged and she presented it to the head of agents. She really went ahead with her plan to catch the jackal despite not being backed up by the Group.

This is a very interesting movie, the layout, the plan, and execution of the plan, you can't even predict what is coming to you. His identity is locked, you don't even know who he is. The plot twist in the movie is lovely, you can't predict what will happen next.
