Academy Award-winner Adrien Brody and latest It Girl Keira Knightley star in "The Jacket," a sci-fi thriller eerily reminiscent of last year's "The Butterfly Effect."

I found this movie by accident... what a great gem!! By the way, did anyone notice if the iraqi kid who shot him in the first place and the epileptic kid are one in the same? It made me think that he died there in iraq and all of this is his imagination running wild as he was laying there, dieing... why else would that child be there?? Anyway, great movie!! And there is a great feel to it. Loved the music also.

went to see this movie just as a fill-in for the afternoon. We were taken-a-back and pleasantly suprised. It's put together really nicely and makes you sit up and think,which is quite different for movies lately. We enjoyed what we saw and have decided to see it again to look more closely this time as it crept up on us a bit. Rating 7/10
