Artsy Twilight Zone
“The Jacket” has gotten some bad press because the plot has a lot of holes in it, but if you suspend belief and just enjoy the movie, it is a lot of fun.Any film that involves time travel requires that you suspend belief, and “The Jacket” is no different. What makes “The Jacket” better than most sci-fi thrillers is the production quality. The scenes in the hospital are done in muted colors which look like hand painted black and white. The scenes in the future are done in super saturated colors. I thought the super close-ups added to the disorientation and claustrophobia of the protagonist.
The acting is first rate. Adrien Brody is convincingly haunted. Kiera Knightly does an acceptable American accent.
Fans of “The Twilight Zone” should like this one. It is rated “R” for language, nudity, sex, violence, and disturbing images in a mental hospital; so you are getting your money’s worth. If you like good production quality and want to go for a thrill ride, check this one out.
Top notch story telling
In “The Jacket” a lone drifter named Jack Satrks who has gotten discharged from the military after the gulf war helps a mother and daughter with their car trouble. The plot then takes a fast jump to Starks in a mental institution for the criminally insane. During a cruel experiment conducted by the Doctors in the facility he’s forced to wear a straight jacket and is locked into a closet. He soon begins to fight to distinguish between the real world and the world in which his mind has created for him.Adrien Brody gives a fantastic performance as a tortured war vet who just wants to find happiness. Brody manages to keep the audience wanting more all the way to the end. Kiera Knightly and Jennifer Jason Leigh use their great acting abilities to smooth the story along and make this movie a must see.
