Movie Review
Grade: C
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." Those who didn't like the Ashton Kutcher mind-bender should avoid this one at all costs, and the few who did like "The Butterfly Effect" will be disappointed by this lackluster entry.

Great Movie... worth seeing twice!, by Andy
October 2, 2005
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.
