Jacket, The

Adrien Brody plays a Gulf War veteran who is accused of murdering a cop and sent to a mental institution for the criminally insane. He may be crazy, he may be innocent, he may, in fact, be dead. The Jacket offers all of these possibilities without following through on any of them. It wants to throw us for a series of loops, but instead it just seems caught in one.
