All rights reserved.The Jacket (2005, DVD)
| Movie Description Oscar-winner Adrien Brody (THE PIANO) stars in THE JACKET, an intense psychological thriller about a Gulf War veteran who finds himself trapped inside another terrifying scenario. Shot in the head while in Iraq, Jack Starks (Brody) has returned home only to be convicted of a murder that he didn't commit. Still reeling from his wartime trauma, Jack is found not guilty by reason of insanity and is committed to an institution for the criminally insane. Once there, he is drugged by the evil Dr. Becker (Kris Kristofferson) and placed into a coffin-like drawer on a nightly basis. Inside the drawer, after being tormented with horrific war flashbacks, Jack is mysteriously transported to the future, where he forms a tender relationship with the hardened, beautiful Jackie (Keira Knightley). Aware that he is destined to die in four days, Jack must use his new gift to figure out what happened to him, with the hopes of altering the course of history. Directed by John Maybury (LOVE IS THE DEVIL), THE JACKET features another electrifying performance from Brody. Acclaimed artist Brian Eno contributes a transcendent score, which contrasts beautifully with Peter Deming's stark cinematography. As the weary Jackie, Knightley proves once again that she's more than just a pretty face.

Reviews  The Jacket (2005, DVD)Review created: 07/31/08 by:  This was a movie set in the war and how the affects of the war was on certain soldiers. this gentleman has many problems and ends up in trouble because he accepted a ride from someone who meant to do no good for anyone, and he got charged with a murder that he wasn't part of. he ends up in a hospital and they put him in a morgue type place in a jacket that is bond that you can't move your arms or get out of. this gentleman goes through this for a long period of time and finally escapes and with the help of a doctor, he goes out to see why all this is happening to him. Now you have to figure out if you are in a dream or is it actually happening. I am still sort of confused as to whether its dream or actual. Gool luck this is a great movie.

Report this review The Jacket DVDReview created: 06/15/08 by: I love this movie...It has so many twists and turns, and the whole movie will surprise you. I rented it and bought it as soon as I saw it on Ebay. This is a movie with fresh ideas that you can't stop watching. I would watch it again and again. It is about an innocent man who is sentenced to a hospital for the criminally insane. The doctor has ideas on how to make these "criminal's ready for society again.. It is very good compared to many of the movies I've seen in the past. You should give it a try, I'm sure you will love it if you like thrillers! Review ID: 10000000007596041 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Adrien!Review created: 09/09/07 by: When I started watching this movie I was a bit skeptical if I would end up liking the story. I was sincerely hoping the predictable storyline unfolding (guy meets girl a long time ago, they somehow find each other in the future, and the whole age difference no longer seems creepy...much) would not be all there was to it. Especially since it has two of my favorite actors, Adrien Brody and Keira Knightley. Not the typical couple you'd expect, I think, but it did end up working quite well. The whole movie did, to my delight. The storyline had wonderful twists and turns, some where you could guess what might happen and others that completely blind-sighted you. Everything is delivered so well that (and this is such a crucial point in many movies) even the far-fetched is believable. At the same time, it also brings home frightful realities, things that happen all the time and we turn a blind eye to, most notable why Jack gets stuck in that ward in the first place. That was possibly the scariest part of the whole movie. And for those that have a bit of trouble connecting the dots the first time around, watch it again. The first time I think there is a lot of information and things going on that most people won't really catch or understand at first. Sometimes knowing what's going to happen allows our mind to stop racing trying to figure out how it's all going to end, and instead focuses on the minor, seemingly insignificant details and words that suddenly connect. Watch it again, it's more than worth it! Review ID: 10000000004366199 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
