The Jacket (2005) Review

Adrien Brody stars as Jack Starks in this cross between Jacob's Ladder and The Butterfly Effect.

While it starts off by making you think that you're about to watch a war movie, it's definitely not a war movie. That just gets things started. Once Starks dies on the battlefield, he is found walking down a road, where he helps a little girl and her mother get their car started. Later on the same road, he ends up getting arrested as an officer is shot and killed. We never find out if he did it or imagined the other person who did the killing to mask part of his mind.

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have something directly to do with movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often..
