Review of The Jacket (2005) by Christie B — 27 Feb 2012
The Jacket is an excellent suspense thriller and a smart, compelling sci-fi drama. The film effectively tells a time-travel mystery without getting caught up in the hows and whys: Jack Starks must solve the mystery of his death after learning of it while undergoing an experimental medical treatment that briefly transported him into the future accidentally.
The cast is especially good and includes Adrien Brody, Keira Knightley, Kris Kristofferson, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Brody does an exceptional job, as does Keira Knightly; who gives a daring performance that really elevates the film.
The mystery is quite compelling and takes a number of twists and turns. The Jacket is a provocative and well-crafted thriller that presents some deep questions about life and death.
