The Jacket Movie Review
Our review: Parents say ( 1 ): Kids say ( 3 ): THE JACKET is a smart thriller, with above-average heft and imagination in the story, the structure, and especially in the striking visuals.

The unconventional love story at the heart of the film feels off-key and, despite its initial edginess, The Jacket treads a well-trodden road, tying up rather too neatly.

It's as if The Jacket can't decide what it really wants to be when it grows up, and as a result it ends up underperforming across the board.
