The Jacket
Great flick. Adrien Brody is an excellent cast and does far to little in Hollywood. Keira Knightley is great, too.
I've been doing some reading and noticed that the film is getting fairly sub-par reviews. A lot of it may be due to some bad press it may have received after an interview with the director John Maybury last week. He pretty much went on record slandering such films as "The Aviator" and "Million Dollar Baby"
If this is the case, it's a shame. The movie is really something worth watching. It strays away from the mainstream, tired and true formulas, but not enough to alienate audiences. The only real flaw is the damn cliche ending. I hate when young directors aren't willing to take chances.
