The Jacket Reviews

Adrien Brody is a fine actor but ever since he deservedly won the Academy Award for his performance in 'The pianist', he hasn't done anything really amazing to be honest. Eventually, this flick is probably the only one starring Adrien Brody which really impressed me lately. Still, I have to warn you beforehand, this movie is really an acquired taste. Indeed, it is one of those movies dealing with time-travel and there were some huge plot holes during the whole thing. I mean, if you try too much to rationalize it than you probably won't enjoy it much. Personally, I thought it was rather fascinating to behold. There was here another top performance by Adrien Brody but also by Keira Knightley, Jennifer Jason Leigh and also an awesome small part by Daniel Craig. Craig didn't reach fame yet back then and he was barely recognizable here. Even though he is pretty good as James Bond, he is actually a terrific dramatic actor which is something that many viewers tend to forget. Anyway, I thought that the directing was pretty good and they managed to put you in one of those paranoid atmosphere. At the end of the day, the story didn't make much sense but it didn't really bother me and I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. To conclude, I thought it was a very good thriller and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

good little film- great mood setter - alittle bizarre and a few loose ends that never really get answered - but well worth sitting and watching.
