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 Science Fiction, not for those who lack imagination or intelligence. And I thank God for that! (Spoken while pointing both index fingers toward the Heavens!)

If 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!

For 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 to travel to the future, nor is he fascinated with the travel itself, instead he's concerned about the people who exist in that future.
In the hospital, where jack is imprisoned, we witness the horrible mistreatment he undergoes. He is constantly drugged up and contained within a drawer (the kind you see in the morgue) while strapped tightly in a straight jacket. The doctors have control of his physical self but it is Jack's will power, his being that they can't imprison. Physically he's trapped and abused but his true nature, his selflessness has found freedom through the time travel (a side effect of his experimental treatment).
In this sense the film becomes very clear to the viewer that it's introspective in nature and therefore less concerned in gimmicks (special effects, action scenes).
I very much enjoyed this film and I don't want to go into further details and I don't think it's possible to. That's what makes this such a great film is that its theme allows for multiple interpretations which will result in multiple viewings. If you are into the films that I mentioned earlier than give this one a shot and if you are not into those films or have not seen them then start with this one and go from there.

I 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 (which was actually Bangour Village Hospital in Scotland, not too far from where I live). There, he meets a sadistic doctor, who locks him in a morgue drawer on a regular basis.
From here, the film gets complicated (but not as much as I expected) as Adrien's character travels forward in time into the future, where he meets Keira Knightley's character, and knows her from somewhere.
I won't reveal too much more about the story, as you really have to watch it for yourself. But it's definitely an intriguing story, and very out there.
I thought Adrien did a brilliant job the way he portrayed his confused character. There's quite a few crying scenes, which made me nearly start crying myself! There's also loads of closeup shots of eyes and stuff, which makes the viewer notice emotions more.
I was surprised at Keira, she's mostly known for her period drama roles, and the press about her weight, nearly always overshadows what film role she's doing. The Jacket shows she can do something other than wear a corset, and play an interesting character at the same time. (Even if she does appear topless in the bath, a scene which is completely unnecessary to the film.) Plus, it's the best she's looked in a film yet. She looked stunning in most of the scenes, despite she was playing a reasonably awful looking character.
The supporting cast are also excellent. Jennifer Jason Leigh was good, although her role could have been extended and the glasses just didn't work. The late Brad Renfro also appears. And also, Daniel Craig appears, and I spent the entire film insisting that was NOT Daniel Craig. (How wrong I was.) The past couple of years, we've been used to seeing him as suave and sophisticated Mr Bond, who can make the women weak at the knees. But in this, his image is completely different, to the point where I actually didn't recognise him. Oh my god, I still can't actually believe it's him.
The Jacket is a film to be added to any film collection, it's really enjoyable, and will also get the brain working - I need it! Adrien Brody was absolutely brilliant, he made the film in my opinion.
