Ahhhh bring back such vivid memories, when I was incarerated, I got better, but, this specific treatment they use to use back in the day, was definitely interesting, and a great story line as well.....
-
MCT:September 29, 2008A really cool concept, nicely executed...but not as "tight" as it could have been.
An amazing cast (some in minor rules) and a mostly well written script.
I feel that it would have been even more powerful minus the final 3 minute "tie it all up in a bow" (felt like an after thought) ending. -
MCT:September 28, 2008Good engaging story, and I like Vermont so it gets points for that too. Like Deja Vu and Premonition, it had some issues with what I'll call cyclic chains of causality, but I think the story and the emotions in it were strong enough that was good in spite of that. It's the kind of movie I'd like to see more of. It's certainly not as villainously weird as many reviewers paint it to be. I've seen movies whose weirdness offended me much more.

MCT:September 20, 2008Another movie that tries to make you feel stupid so that you might think it's your fault that you don't understand the brilliance of the movie!! The only good thing about this disturbed movie is Adrien Brody's indisputable talent.

MCT:September 13, 2008There's not much I can say about this movie. I can say wow, to start. this is just a movie that made you think. Its a movie that just made me depressed in a really good way. I dont want to talk about the complicated plot. The acting in this is just amazing. The actual story is the type of story I like to here. I like different things, things that doesn't really apeal to mass audiences. The whole way through I was just so into the film that I didn't know what was going on around me. It is somewhat of a sad movie, as I said it leaves you depressed in a really good way. The ending is just something so random and so out of the ordinary, it happens in a second and something I didnt expect. The way the film just came together. I just want people to go and see this movie. Its a movie that im glad I spent my time on and I hope you do the same.

Brody's performance is simply amazing. The way he devours the role and carries the movie over his shoulders from start to finish is simply breath-taking. He gives some outstanding acting lessons as he usually does, from "Oxygen" to "The Village" and of course "The Pianist" he is absolutely one of the best actors around.
As for the movie... well, it was a little bit full of itself. It was haunting and brilliantly shot but the plot holes and illogic screenplay killed the game for me. Knightley and Kristofferson give great performances but it feels like many things are missing. One of Brody's best performances but you can only get so far with a marvelous leading man. -

Ok so i rate it 5 because it has Adrien Brody in it, however i do think it should be praised for it's pretty orginal storyline, even the pairing of Brody and Knightley has the right chemistry to pull off this film!

MCT:August 14, 2008I've always liked Adrien Brody; he has a manner about him, an aura, of subtlety and quiet kindness. Unfortunately he's just about the only effective contributor here in "The Jacket," a fairly bad film concerning life, death, time travel, morals, etc. Keira Knightley has her moments in the film as well, but, rather sadly, Kris Kristofferson, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Daniel Craig are all underused and, because of this, not very memorable. The film contains a somewhat interesting premise, I suppose; however, the direction by John Maybury is sloppy and the cinematography by Peter Deming is distracting and obnoxious. The end result is a sometimes darkly beautiful piece about everlasting love, but a mostly disappointing melodramatic would-be thriller about undeserving people looking for redemption.

MCT:July 23, 2008Bitterseet movie.
One of Adrien Brody's best yet. Well cast. And the chemistry between Brody and Keira Knightley works.. somehow! -

This movie is on my all-time favorites list. Only a few movies pull me into them enough to actually disappoint me when I realize the end is coming. Not that this movie is predictable, but after the hour mark I found myself dreading that the story was soon to be over. A man without a memory put in a place where people are forgotten finds himself under the exotic psychotherapy of the head doctor. Unknown to everyone but himself, the treatment temporarily pushes his mind to the future where he must play sleuth to uncover the mystery of his own death.
While a bit sci-fi, there are no high dollar hollywood special effects to note, to blazing car chases and no impending doom on mankind. It's one man against time, in more ways than one. -

LETTERBOX. No está mal, pero se siente dramáticamente pasada de cocción y algo cruda en su narrativa. / Not bad, but feels dramatically overcooked while undercooked storywise.

Despite the good performances by Adrien Brody and Daniel Craig and the initial interest I had for the story, it's just another powerless time travel flick. Petty and predictable.
-

Outstanding. The storyline is amazing and they couldn't have picked a better person to play this role than Adrien Brody. Must see.
-

Trippy as hell, but an incredible story if you can wrap your head around it. Brody and Craig were absolutely amazing in their roles.
Catch it! -

This movie took some work in the beginning to get through, but then it got much better. This is a strang movie, but, I liked it and I would watch it again. It had a really different plot than I thought. It was really interesting and entertaining.

not a bad movie wasn't sure i'd like it, but it was not bad, check it out when you get a chance, i'm still wondering, about the time, space, and ripple effect theories. lol!

I really couldn't see the point of this movie. I honestly love Adrian Brody and Keira Knightley, especially Keira Knightley since I'm such a huge fan of hers. But, honestly, the story made no sense at all. Not only that, the ending was SO bad that it should be criminalized so that it's never repeated ever again. On a personal note, it was awesome to hear Keira Knightley speak in such a convincing American accent. A clear testament to just how versatile she could be as an actress, despite how atrocious this movie was.

Don't watch any of the alternative endings unless you want the depressing versions of this time-jumping, murder-mystery, romance.
-

Interesting, sad. Can't really write much about it because it's hard to forget some parts, but really easy to forget others.

Abit disturbing, but it was good from Keira Knightley. I actually wouldn't have watched it if she wasn't in it
