He plays a hire assassin called The Jackal. In the first place, before the movie starts you see a short film. In this film a criminal is in a sort of disco, and is talking with someone. The US Ambassy and the Russian army ( this all plays in Russia) work together to catch that criminal. When they come in, the criminal knows he will be caught, he tries to kill a female Russian cop. She is fighting with him and kills the criminal. In the first place the important actors are introduced, so you already know who they are and what they do before the movie is started.

The End
Your reaction and reasons why you liked it In th beginning the movie is difficult, and I didn’t understand everything. But later on it wasn’t difficult at all. It was very realistic, that’s why I liked it so much. And it was very exciting also. Good music, to create a sphere in every scene. And Bruce Willis acted like a real assasin, when he killed someone, he went on with what he was doing. Bruce Willis was one off the best actors in this movie, I think. Conclusion It was a very good and exciting movie. With very good actors. Every scene off the movie is good, it was never boring like you aren’t paying attention to it at all. It stayed interesting untill the end. And that’s important, bacause than it’s easier to watch a movie and make a review. You also remember things better when you are writing the description of the stoy / plot.
