 JoBlo's movie review of The Assignment: Aidan Quinn, Donald Sutherland, Ben Kingsley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Naval Officer Ramirez (Quinn) gets called upon by the CIA to impersonate the international terrorist known as the Jackal, in order to put an end to the actual militant's radical activities.

Sutherland and Kingsley seem to be playing the same role that they've played in both of their respective careers of late, but nonetheless, appeared to relish the cold-heartedness of their chosen characters.
