In this drama, a naval officer named Annibal Ramirez (Aidan Quinn) is vacationing in Israel when he's arrested and questioned by Israeli agents, led by Amos (Ben Kingsley). Unknown to Annibal, he bears a striking resemblance to Carlos Sanchez (also played by Aidan Quinn), a famous and feared international terrorist wanted in several nations. Jack Shaw (Donald Sutherland) is a CIA operative who witnessed one of Sanchez's most brutal attacks in the 1970s and is obsessed with bringing him to justice. Shaw persuades Ramirez to join his team and to pose as Sanchez, convincing the nations who work with him that he's an unreliable traitor. While this would give Ramirez a chance to serve his country, it would also take him away from his wife Maura (Claudia Ferri) and his children, not to mention putting his life in grave danger. Carlos Sanchez was the name of an infamous terrorist (also known as "The Jackal") who was active in the 1970s and 1980s; while the "Carlos Sanchez" character is based on his fearsome exploits, the rest of the story is fiction.

A very effective thriller that stuck in my mind mainly due to its unusual story about the hunt for a mad terrorist and also because of the excellent performances. Aidan Quinn's character has a lot going for him, whether as a good guy going through rigorous and very hard training and then thrown into a ruthless criminal jungle, or as a bad guy who shoots even spiders on walls and blows up restaurants. Moreover, the story is adequately brisk, gritty, gripping, and suspenseful and doesn't bore for a moment, thus perfectly masking the shortcomings in the form of the visual effects and some holes in logic. For me, a decent 80%.
