The Jacket
Directed by John Maybury. Story: A Gulf War veteran is put into a mental institution where they use a revolutionary kind of treatment. Running Time: 1hr 42 minutes. Certificate 15.
You have to watch this one - lose concentration for a minute and you'll wonder what's going on. The Jacket is a refreshingly subtle take on the thriller genre, filmed beautifully and with a psychological edge.
I really enjoyed The Jacket. It's a classy piece of cinema and deserves to do well if only for its original appearance. There's nothing bad about this film - even the plot, though infeasible and confusing at times, is interesting and appropriate. I recommend The Jacket to anyone who likes something a little different and doesn't need lots of action. I enjoyed this film: I think the average moviegoer will enjoy it: Testosterone Satisfaction Rating: Some disturbing war flashbacks and medical treatment plus a peek at Keira's top half. To enjoy this film you should: Concentrate, while trying not to analyse the plot too hard.

Cast: Adrien Brody, Keira Knightley, Kris Kristofferson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Daniel Craig, Kelly Lynch.
The Jacket is one of those films that benefits from not knowing anything about beforehand. The "jacket" itself is
critical to the plot, but I'm not going to tell you what it is or what it does, because it will work better for you
if you don't know. Without this knowledge, some of the earlier scenes can seem a little confusing, but it all fits
together and drops into place before long and makes the journey all the more interesting. I'm assuming The Jacket was
originally a written story because, as is often the case in story to film transfers, it's difficult to keep track of
the plot as we're not told quite enough for it to be self-evident.
Adrien Brody is brilliant in the lead role and shows that The Pianist was no fluke. Keira Knightley is less impressive -
she seems to be trying to create a screen persona for herself by sneering, keeping her mouth open as if she has sinus
trouble and talking as if she
has twiglets caught behind her lips, which all adds up to a pretty shaky performance in my opinion. Steven Mackintosh
turns up as a doctor in the institution - he's always good, but I think the American accent was inadvisable.
The rest of the cast
are all very good, Daniel Craig being particularly notable for his neurotic mental patient. The star of the show, however,
is the atmospheric direction. I've never even heard of any of John Maybury's past films, but I shall definitely keep
an eye out for his future ones. His skill in creating a credible and stylish story is enough to hide the less likely parts
of the plot - in a strange way it makes it more believable because it looks like a believable film would look. Make no
mistake though, this plot does not stand up to thorough inspection, so it's best just to take it at face value and
enjoy it.
