Smart thriller is for mature older teens only.

Ultimately it doesn't amount to much, but like Starks' drug-induced trip, The Jacket is about the journey not the destination.

The acting is uniformly excellent.

It is the work of conspicuously smart people operating under the assumption that the mass audience whose money they want is pretty dumb, and hence concoct a pretty dumb movie that they believe said audience will mistake for being smart.

It just bounces Brody back and forth in time and yanks us around, and around, and around.

Audience Reviews for The Jacket

Apr 10, 2019The film has an intriguing idea but takes too long to finally kick in, which is something that ought to be a bit exasperating for some viewers, and it almost gets ruined by a silly ending that tries too hard to be optimistic against any logic left, even if the actors do their best to sell it.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Mar 14, 2014Jacob's Ladder meets 12 Monkeys with underwhelming results. Tha Jacket is all flare and little else, trying to play smart to belong to the grown-ups club but ends up making little to no sense. Plot details go nowhere, characters are completely wasted and pointless (Daniel Craig anyone?) and the fast editing just gets obnoxious after a while. Add an unbearably cheesy twist and Tha Jacket fails miserably at whatever it was trying to convey. Props to the actors who were actually trying but nothing much came across their flat characters.Francisco G Super Reviewer

May 14, 2012good for its concept but the overall pay off is a little slow. adrien brody is a great actor but he can't save this film from being more then just a stylish thriller.Brendan N Super Reviewer

Apr 13, 2012Adrian Brody has superb performance, but it didn't save the film. Thought it was a post traumatic experience but it became a time traveling thriller, not saying I am disappointed, but it's really not as good. Thrilling? Not really...Sylvester K Super Reviewer
