Eddie Redmayne is the Jackal: a ghost in human skin, swapping passports, prosthetics, and kill sites with surgical calm. Hired to erase a crypto-mogul threatening the old guard’s grip, he threads Europe’s veins—Paris rooftops, Berlin bunkers, Balkan cliffs—always a heartbeat ahead. Lashana Lynch’s MI6 ace Bianca chases shadows, her family life cracking under the strain, while Daniel Brühl’s intel broker plays both sides in this high-stakes chessboard.

Redmayne chills to the bone—reptilian precision in every micro-expression. Lynch counters with fire and flaws, her pursuit a masterclass in grit. Action? Breath-stealing: one-take sniper setups, car chases that shred silence, and a finale where a single bullet decides empires. It’s Forsyth’s blueprint remixed for our surveillance age—tension tighter than a garrote.

85% RT, binge-ready on Peacock. Spy craft this sharp doesn’t miss.
