...Willis) stalks a mystery target while the FBI scrambles to catch up with him, using the expertise of Gere's former IRA terrorist Declan Mulqueen. When Mulqueen and the Jackal finally meet, sparks fly and a gay kiss occurs. OK, not really, but it sure would have made this dopey flick a lot more interesting...
...Jackal (Bruce Willis) stalks a mystery target while the FBI scrambles to catch up with him, using the expertise of former IRA terrorist Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere).
