Amazon.com:
When you put on The Jacket, prepare for a head-trip into fragmented reality. Coproducer Steven Soderbergh might have fared better with this mind-bender than British director John Maybury (who indulges an excess of heavy-handed "style"), but it's intriguing enough to hold your attention as Gulf War veteran Jack Starks (Adrian Brody) sustains a head-wound that results in amnesia and fragmented timelines. One involves Jack's apparent killing of a policeman, after which he's institutionalized and subjected to straight-jacketed experiments in sensory isolation (with Kris Kristofferson as the doctor in charge); the other is a possible future involving a nihilistic waitress (Keira Knightley) with connections to his past, and the discovery that Jack will die in four days if he can't solve the brain-teasing puzzle he's fallen into. The Jacket aspires to the cleverness of Memento and falls short of that target, but Brody gives this exercise in desperate disorientation a certain gravitas that keeps you watching as his tormenting visions begin to unravel. Jennifer Jason Leigh, Brad Renfro and Kelly Lynch make the most of their small supporting roles. --Jeff Shannon

- Intelligent Science Fiction!This movie is OUTSTANDING! The advertisements for it were all wrong. For some reason they touted it as a horror flick, but no! This is Time Traveling Science Fiction Adventure all the way! I loved it! I'm a writer of short Sci-Fi myself and the premise of this movie is not unlike some I have explored with my own stories. I really like how this was done. Craig was excellent! Knightley superb! Adrien Brody fantastic! I can watch this one again and again. As I stated, this is intelligent ... Read More

- Worth more than 5 StarsIf you are anyone capable of digging deep into emotion at all, having the intelligence to embrace the sorrow of loss, yet understand the beauty of gaining things beyond the wildest of imaginations? You'll love this movie. This movie tells the story of a soldier returned home, and through the most creative and interesting of experiences meets the love of his life... the irony of the bliss that ensues is extremely well portrayed by Adrian and Keira... amazing!

- A second chance to do the right thingFor me a good science fiction film deals more with human nature than it does with cool gadgetry and special effects. Take for instance 2001, Solaris (the original), La Jetee or 12 Monkeys, Gattaca, Children of Men and Blade Runner (yes, I know it has flying cars but that's besides the point), all these films were concerned with human nature either subjectively or objectively. Such is the case with The Jacket. Jack Starks, our protagonist, isn't concerned with the actual mechanics of how he was able ... Read More

- Keira finally gets away from the period dramasI did buy this for someone else, but because the story intrigued me, I wanted to watch it too! I'd never got around to seeing it when it was released, so I thought I'd give it a go, although I was ready to dig my claws into Keira's performance.
The story is about Adrien Brody, who plays a guy who gets shot in the head in Vietnam, and returns home. He then hitches a lift, but gets knocked out, and finds himself in court for killing a police officer. He then gets sent to a mental institution ... Read More
