It's weird and surreal, but it ends with most of the holes plugged and all but a few of the loose ends tied into a tidy package. Some argue this is a cheat and the film should have been more open ended. That's a personal choice; I like it the way it is. Aug 23, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

For hours and days after you've seen it, you'll still be putting it together in your head. While all of it is gripping, it doesn't come together until the final scene, which is jolting, transcendent, unexpected yet inevitable. Aug 23, 2014 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

As long as the movie refuses to commit itself, it is a truly creepy, nerve-jangling experience. Aug 23, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

In the best puzzle movies, the pieces fit -- eventually. But if you try to piece together Jacob's Ladder, all you get for your trouble is more pieces. Aug 23, 2014 | Full Review…

Without a strongly sympathetic figure at the center of the movie, Jacob's plight seems very remote. Watching this film should feel like being caught in a nightmare, but it feels more like watching someone else who is caught in a nightmare. Aug 23, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

[Robbins' and Pena's] scenes together are the highlight of the film, so natural, so bright. That's why we're willing to invest a lot of time in what turns out to be a terribly overwrought plot. Aug 23, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

'90s drama about Vietnam vet has language, violence. Mar 5, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Jacob's Ladder is unique. Rarely is such an unconventional screenplay given this full-blown, $25 million studio treatment. It is a curiosity -- a mutant of a movie in an industry that specializes in clones. Aug 23, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

One of Robbins' finest unheralded performances, plus a slew of supporting roles from then-unknowns Eriq LaSalle, Ving Rhames, Jason Alexander, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and an uncredited Macaulay Culkin. Aug 23, 2014 | Full Review…

Every story needs some kernel of internal logic, some hold on reality. But Lyne's film is like trying to scale a mountain of Jello. There's no solid ground. Everything is constantly shifting and undulating. Aug 23, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Just when it's on the brink of becoming one of the most disturbing, disorienting and penetrating psychological horror movies, Jacob's Ladder -- in a self-deflating few minutes -- turns itself into a shaggy-dog story. Aug 23, 2014 | Full Review…
