Fridae

As we'd pointed out earlier, the Bambi-faced Keira Knightley takes
off all her clothes in The Jacket. So boys, you've been
warned. And girls, (we know) you've been waiting.

Sunken-cheeked Adrien Brody — who won an Oscar for playing
a thin and tragic war survivor in The Pianist — returns
to the screen to play a thin and tragic war survivor. Returning
home after the Gulf war, he is wrongly accused of murder and is
sent to a mental hospital.

There, the scary Dr. Becker (Kris Kristofferson) subjects him to
strange psychiatric treatments, which give him the ability to time-travel
to the past and the future.

Time-tripping 14 years forward, he meets the lovely Keira who helps
him change the sad events of his life.

The movie starts off quite stylishly and promisingly, but the plot
get extremely complicated. Mid-way through, the whole movie becomes
unconvincing and falls apart.

We recommend The Jacket only to hardcore sci-fi fans who
would never under any circumstance utter the words: "Not now, I
have a headache." For everyone else, pop two Panadols and paste
Tiger Balm plaster on your temples before you watch it.
