Review of Jacob's Ladder (1990) by Kevin H — 22 Feb 2010
Having just watched this film again I can truly say that it is one of the best I have ever seen on so many levels. For those that "get" the story, it is a truly moving and remarkable experience unmatched in other films of its kind.
Adrian Lyne's direction is absolutely superb and the performances from all the actors are perfect. Balancing some of the creepiest scenes ever filmed with an incredible attention to drama and humanity is not something to be taken lightly and it is this that is the film's greatest strength.
It will stay with you long after you've finished watching it and will hold up to the test of time quite easily I think. If I could rate it higher than 5 stars I would...absolutely brilliant. My highest recommendation.
