Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Sign of the times that we live in that Hollywood can turn any subject into formulaic banality, even when handed an example of pure brilliance from another century.

I cannot express how much I love this movie... or perhaps more importantly, why I love this movie. It's just a beautiful movie that makes you feel emotions both happy and sad. The acting and filmmaking are incredible. The plot is simple and even random in some regards, but it all works and the movie plays like a work of art.The enjoyment that I got from the Jacket is definitely different from the way that I enjoy most films. There is something greater to this film that most films don't offer. That being said, this is definitely one of my favorite films. It actually pains me a little that it has gotten so little recognition.

Took a while to get into this. There's an unconvincing roadside scene at the start, then a couple of claustrophobic scenes I found hard to watch. So far, so grim.At about 25 mins Knightley comes in with a good performance, then the dog tags turn up, and the story begins to motor.In the end it's worth watching, though it's more a sense of relief than a feeling of the possibilities of life. Brody seems inconsistent, often cracking a big grin that should be impossible for someone with his character's difficulties, and swinging between meek withdrawal and steel eyed menace. Surprising to see Daniel Craig's performance.

A film could not be better.But I was scanning the after-titles, and find it very BAD of the producers to NOT include Jack London, as holder of the original idea.You named the film after him. The Jacket". Adrian Brody got the name "Jack". But our good author from the beginning of the last Century, Jack London, and his novel "The Straightjacket" where a guy travelled in time, did NOT get any credit. That's unprofessional, really.....Anyway. Adrian, miss Scottish as me Knightley (I fell in love...) Kris Kristofferson, and all the rest grand players, a big thank you for being you and having your great talents developed./Lawrence
