  The Jacket 2005

  ★★★★ Added by Dawson Joyce

  My Year of Flops

  One of the more overlooked and underrated thrillers of the mid-2000's, The Jacket doesn't always execute its cool central concept perfectly, and it's not difficult to draw comparisons to Jacob's Ladder, but as a whole, it's an engrossing and suspenseful psychological mind-bender featuring a terrific lead performance from Adrien Brody.

It amazes me how studio executives, a decent director, and such an amazing cast and crew took one look at this horrible, horrible script and…
