The film centers on a wounded Gulf war veteran who returns to his native Vermont suffering from bouts of amnesia. He is hitching and gets picked up by a stranger, things go wrong when a cop pulls them over and is murdered by a stranger. The vet is wrongly accused of the killing and lands in an asylum. A disreputable doctor prescribes a course of experimental therapy, restraining him in a modified strength straight jacket-like device, and locks him away in a cadaver drawer in the basement morgue. During the course of his treatment, he gets flashbacks and visions of his future where he can foresee that he is to die in four days time; He just doesn't know how. And thus commences the classic race against time for this tortured veteran with an expiration date.
Leave your thoughts about The Jacket.
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerOn each level: the human, the futuristic, the romantic, the legal, the ironic -- it remains consistent and compelling. Steven King and M. Night Shyamalan: take a lesson. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelPhoebe FlowersWhat it all means doesn't really become clear until the end, and at that point the unraveled mysteries seem a touch trite. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawUnusually wise about its visual vocabulary. |
| Tooele Transcript-Bulletin (Utah)Audrey Rock-RichardsonThere's no end to the maze of unanswered questions in the screenplay. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThe cast is uniformly excellent and the production is artfully eerie, even if the story is a Frankenstein of borrowed movie parts that don't always fit together seamlessly |
| PanoramaLouis-Jérôme CloutierRappelons surtout que tout cela a déjà été fait ailleurs, et potentiellement en mieux. |
| Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)Mark ColletteThis is one time-travel movie that isn't interested in the paradoxes inherent in time travel. It has much more fundamental paradoxes to worry about. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeAdmittedly, The Jacket is not likely to be everyone's cup of tea, but filmmaker John Maybury has forged a mesmerizing mindblower. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerPart of the fun with twisty time-travel movies is in trying to figure out what's going on and The Jacket delivers nicely on that score, keeping you guessing till the end. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowThis is a smart thriller, with above-average heft and imagination in the story, the structure, and especially in the striking visuals. |
