It wasn't really explained how he walked away from the car crash near the end either. That was done impact on his side...Might be an age thing, ie I missed it, but there seemed to be a plot hole, never told us what happened to his ‘spotter’ from the Army, they both walked away in the Afghanistan flashback bit, then both presumed dead which enabled them to become international hit men.
Don’t give them everything in series 1 old bean.Might be an age thing, ie I missed it
You need Michael Fassbender in The Killer on Netflix, brooding, understated assassin of few words.
We just said that in the office, its not like the emergency services in Spain aren't going to look in his bag, and find multiple passports, a couple of shooters and a shit load of currency.
That's not a plot hole. That's just something they didn't cover. They didn't cover what The Jackal ate for breakfast either. That also wasn't a plot hole.Might be an age thing, ie I missed it
Plot armor. It's very common in many movies and shows (especially action films). You just have to go with it. The (anti-)hero usually survives half a dozen mishaps that would 100% kill or incapacitate any normal person in real-life.
I did enjoy The Killer also. Well worth a watch.
God, everyone always has an angle.10 episodes could of been 6
nice to see the diversity boxes ticked
I tried watching the original last week. It’s a total snooze fest compared to this, I thought.
Top of his agenda is finding his wife and child. But next on his list will be Winthrop (the Charles Dance character). The Jackal does not take too kindly to not getting paid. It damages 'the brand'.
I almost got the feeling that, rightly or wrongly, Bianca was almost there to appease the present day TV execs, a strong woman of colour, from the streets, fought her way up to be at the sharp end of MI5/6, then the writers said we've ticked all the boxes now, so lets kill her off.
I got none of these feelings. I guess we see what we want to see and create the narratives in our heads that we want to create. I certainly don’t imagine you would be writing your post if she wasn’t a black woman.I almost got the feeling that, rightly or wrongly, Bianca was almost there to appease the present day TV execs, a strong woman of colour, from the streets, fought her way up to be at the sharp end of MI5/6, then the writers said we've ticked all the boxes now, so lets kill her off.
I'm not sure a better dynamic would have been the Jackal pursued by someone of his ilk, maybe someone he worked with previously in the forces, almost the classic battle between good and evil?
Series 2 will no doubt answer the question about his mate, and Charles Dance probably won't make Series 3.
Yes of course that's what happened. No way in this day and age could that character have been a white man, or indeed the jackal been a black woman. Not sure that's why she was killed off though, think that was just part of the storyline.I almost got the feeling that, rightly or wrongly, Bianca was almost there to appease the present day TV execs, a strong woman of colour, from the streets, fought her way up to be at the sharp end of MI5/6, then the writers said we've ticked all the boxes now, so lets kill her off.
