Member Movie Reviews K. K. (GAMER) Reviewed on 2/21/2022... This would have been a five star rating but there was a stall in the plotline about half-way through. It did pick back up but got a bit strange with the butterfly effect. Adrien Brody, Keira Knightley, Kris Kristofferson and Jennifer Jason Leigh shine in this. Brody is really good at playing completely different parts and his plays his part well in the jacket as does Kristofferson with Leigh player a much different role that you are not used to. A must watch! Don K. from BEAVERTON, OR Reviewed on 8/8/2012... Five stars. First thing...this is not a horror flick, despite its leanings in that direction. This is on my list of all time favorite movies from the suspense/thriller genre. Adrien Brody was the perfect casting choice. Keira Knightley is always a pleasure to watch. The plot is clever and gripping...grabs you and never lets go. Be prepared to forget about everything else for 103 minutes. "The Jacket" has been compared with "Memento", but I think that's like comparing steak and burgers. "The Jacket" is seamless and intelligent, where "Memento" was disjointed and gimmicky. This movie is worthy of any decent video collection. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful. Wanda D. from RINGOLD, OK Reviewed on 12/30/2011... First, I'll state, I liked this movie. I had to watch it about 3 times to catch everything in it but I like it more each time. Adrian Brody has the most expressive eyes. He really does say a LOT with a shrug, brow lift and a brief word. Keira Knightly is interesting in this movie also and I'm not usually a big fan of hers. I do have a weakness for time travel in movies and books, it always fascinates me how different artists will treat the subject. This one is well done, even though time travel is always impossible once you try to take the concept apart. I liked the ending. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful. Sheryl B.

Movie ReviewsBetter than you would think M. G. Mora | San Leandro, CA. United States | 04/27/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Maybe it was the advertising that killed this movie in the theatre before it even got a fair chance. I saw this before it was released at the Sundance film festival and knew that it would be a hard one to sell to people not because it wasn't good but because it didn't fit in to a usual Hollywood classification. Sure enough, I was right. They made it look like a horror movie and it is definitely not that. I'd call it a thriller with sci fi overtones. Sort of a Twilight Zone episode if you had to label it. Great performances by a strong cast plus an interesting plot propel this over most movies that come out in the theatres these days. In some respects it's even better than The Butterfly Effect (which had a simular plot) especially because it has a strong lead where as B.E did not. Given a chance with different marketing this could have been big. So check it out on DVD now!" Past see's Future, meets FATE halfway Eddie Lancekick | Pacific Northwest | 07/23/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Like "The manchurian Candidate" and "The Dead Zone", "The Jacket" deals with time-space connundrums. Adrien Brody plays Jack Starks, a man who, at the age of 27 was a Soldier who suffered a head injury in the first Gulf War known as "Desert Storm". When he's patched up, he begins a journey that will ultimately land him in a psyche ward. The journey to get there is full of danger, the journey to get out is possibly deadly...but he's not sure because though it's the year 1993, he still keeps living in the year 2007! If you like films like "The Manchurian Candidate" "The Dead Zone" or even "The Butterfly Effect", you will love this movie. Adrien Brody does superb job in his leading role, taking on a character who througout the movie is first a confident and skilled soldier, a drifting wanderer, an accused murderer, a space case, and a psyche-ward patient. Ultimately it all adds up to the fact that this character he plays, is also very special. Any movie where a character asks someone "What year is it" is a must see in my book. This is the first American project for British filmmaker John Maybury, and I think he did an excellent job melding together a complicated and intricate plot that flows smoothly and though dives into a puzzle now and again, never loses focus on the main theme. Also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Kelly Lynch, and Kris Kristofferson. All are well cast for this movie, which has many twists and turns and leaves you going "oh...no way!" a few times." How did I miss this? Lisa McKinley | Citrus Capital of the World, CA USA | 07/16/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Out of the proverbial left field, this movie ended up in my husband's vast dvd collection. I'd never heard of it. He popped it into the dvd player and I found myself immediately engrossed in the slow unfolding of a wonderfully played tale. This Adrien Brody guy is fascinating to watch; I don't know why I don't hear about him more often (see 'Dummy'). Now, I love myself a good time-travel story, and I think giving you that much information may already be too much, because you should discover it on your own. Also, I am capable of nit-picking my way through an implausible film unmercilessly (see 'Stigmata'), but this story was very easy to swallow, and it was quite engaging. I found myself thinking about it days afterward, which is the hallmark of a good film for me. If you need explosions and big action to keep you in the moment, then this probably isn't for you. But if you can be patient and allow a story to unravel itself through strong characterizations and simple dialogues, I think you will be satisfied."
