The Jacket (2005) 6/10

Starring : Adrien Brody, Keira Knightley, Kris Kristofferson, Jennifer Jason Leigh
Director : John Maybury
Running Time : 104 mins

After being wrongly accused of murder, Gulf War veteran Jack Starks (Brody) end up in an insane asylum where he discovers he can travel into the future through the use of a straight jacket and a morgue drawer. In his future travels he discovers he is going to die in four days time, and he tries desperately to find out how so that he can prevent his own death.

This is a very unusual and quite confusing movie which leads us to believe that Adrian Brody is able to travel through time through the use of a straight jacket. More likely his character actually is insane and is just attention seeking, There are some interesting moments, and the concept of time travel itself is always intriguing when approached from a unique standpoint, so it might be worth checking out if you like slow paced science fiction.
