A solid attempt to wrestle with some big questions. The cast is exemplary and the premise and script are well reasoned and artful. But it doesn't quite come together.

It just bounces Brody back and forth in time and yanks us around, and around, and around.

The Jacket is doing nothing but sampling elements of Jacob's Ladder, The Silence of the Lambs and Memento.

Maybury is an artist in addition to a director and it's clear that he has an eye for colour, which he uses cleverly to reinforce emotion.

Pic begins as a potentially intriguing study of the depersonalizing effects of warfare, only to end up a pastiche of time-travel and psycho-ward movie cliches.
