After reading a good friend's review of The Jacket I wasn't expecting much, but I was intrigued enough to rent the film. I wasn't impressed or disappointed. I'm just indifferent. There were good elements to The Jacket, and there were bad elements.
On the positive side is Adrien Brody. This man clearly has a gift. He can take the most shallow, underdeveloped characters and make them believable. He can take a potentially boring, plotless movie and make it bearable. He can add emotion to the emotionless. It's amazing, really. Keira Knightley was also pretty decent. If nothing else, she looked good, but her performance was haunting.
On the negative side is the plot. Really, there wasn't much to it and what there was seemed rehashed from other sci-fi/thriller movies. It tried to be complicated, but wasn't. It tried to be culturally relevant, but wasn't. It tried to be many things, and failed. The end result was a movie that is ultimately forgettable. I walked away from the movie thinking "Who cares?" The Jacket wasn't bad, and it wasn't good. It was just mediocre.
The DVD was very impressive, as Warner's products normally are. The audio mix really drew the listener in to the movie with creative use of the surrounds. The LFE featured some serious bass in all the right places. The video was superb, with incredibly deep black levels that didn't waver during even the darkest of scenes. No matter how dimly lit a shot was, I saw no pixelation or compression artifacts. Outstanding visual and audio presentation. But no matter how good the DVD was, The Jacket is still average at best.

Nice movie about time travel
Its a different time travel movie that tell more about life than about time travel itself. The screenplay is well written and the direction is good.

A great movie!
A smart movie about the possibilities of time travel, although it's not hyped like many others. It stays very true to its fictional world. Refers to concepts in time travel but speaks to the viewer, isn't obscure. Acting is very good and the movie's...

Does this gene fit The Jacket?
