Review of The Jacket (2005) by Jeffrey L — 29 Aug 2008
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.
