Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

View Morewell i have seen this movie long time ago and iv watched it again today,so i just don't know where to start. Acting - first of all id like to say about acting of all, from leading to outstanding. Adrien is Brilliant so is Kiera but i want say compliments to whole cast from Craig to Babak who is also Iraq boy... Directing - is so good, it is keeping you to watch,not just watch to watch it inside and think about all of the scene and meanings of them. Soundtrack - soundtrack is really calm,nice and thrilling,internal at same time,i cant imagine any other soundtrack for this plot and movie so enough with track.... Now i want to say a few word about the ending and meaning.like we all have noticed that this flick lets us to have our opinions about end and whole movie and makes us think about it after watch(this thing i loved most) id like to say my versions of end.The first one: Jack was murdered by the Iraq Boy and whole movie is agony or some hallucination.why i think that? 1)He is bleeding from the same place where he was when he got shot from Iraq boy and when he died in last scene 2)the fact that the jacket place is actually morgue so if you ll watch closely its kind of same frame when he lies wounded in Iraq and when hi lies over Jacket, i mean same eyes, same face same camera moving and stuff. i cant figure out the Jackies role in this version truly. The second one. what just plot says,Jack died in the past and survived in future so survived Jackies mom.
View MoreTo start, yes, The Jacket shouldn't be really close to any consideration as a horror film but that is contrary to the internet movie database's classification. Receiving a horror label presents the opportunity for discussion since the film leaves a lasting impression on the viewers on so many levels. Without giving too much of anything away, the film can be summed up as dark, romantic thriller with a strong tale based on time-travel and redemption. Filmmaking was impeccably constructed, bestowing a cold and somber atmosphere with great casting calls consisting of Adrien Brody and Keira Knightley as the main leads. The Jacket is a tremendous psychological piece that won't scare or shock but is highly imaginative and emotional.
View MoreThis is the 5th worst movie I have ever seen behind Lady in the Water, Swimfan, Wolf Creek, and the remake of Funny Games. The movie is disjointed and jarring but not in a good way. It is built up like there is something you are supposed to figure out or try to understand about what is going on, but the story is actually far less complex than that. Sound design is god awful. It goes back and forth between Adrien Brody, one of the least inspiring actors of all time, sobbing and whispering sweet nothings to himself and blaring loud cut scenes to what he experiences while in "The Jacket." Think Requiem for a Dream drug use montage... but awful, and very VERY VERY loud.I did not rate it a 1 because the only way a film can get that rating from me is if I literally have to turn the movie off without finishing it. I was able to sit through this entire movie, though I didn't enjoy it.
