DVD Reviews of Jacob's Ladder
DVD Review: The Beginning or the End
Summary: 4 Stars
Every once in a while,a film comes to the screen that resonates long after the film has ended and the lights in the theater have been brought up...this is one of them.I won`t tell you anything about this dvd becuse I want you to just buy it,watch it and feel the way I felt the first time I saw this beautiful but dark film.I always feel very strange after I`ve seen it,its like something loosens inside of me and fills me with....hope,I guess.It might be a kind of sad movie but the end is worth the terrible trip down the Ladder.A very thoughtful and visually stunning film.A fine addition to any collection.DVD Review: Disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
I was really into the movie all the way through but I just felt really let down by the ending. I was expecting something that would turn the movie on it's head and blow me away. But I waited and waited and then movie was over. I guess I was expecting too much. I really loved one freaky scene in the movie. But after that it was a dud.DVD Review: Must have movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is one of those movies that you MUST see, if only once. While it does have some disturbing images, it is well worth the ride to find out just exactly what Jacob's Ladder truly is.DVD Review: Acceptance...
Summary: 5 Stars
Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins from The Shawshank Redemption and War Of The Worlds) is a very troubled man. His life is filled with flashbacks, nightmares, visions, omens, and portents. Oh yeah, and those hideous demons he keeps seeing. Is he suffering from post traumatic stress from his Viet Nam days? Is he losing his mind? Or worse, is he caught up in something supernatural, with implications beyond his deepest fears? Jacob has no idea. He is simply adrift in this hell-world. The clues are all around him, but we'll have to go through his ordeal with him, in order to witness the solution. JACOB'S LADDER is one of the best movies of its kind. If you enjoy using your brain once in a while, then you should love it. Watch for Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction, Dawn Of The Dead), Pruitt Taylor Vince (Captivity), and a young Macaulay Culkin (The Good Son). Highly recommended... DVD Review: Great movie, great story, great effects
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie! Right from the beginning, it was able to grab my attention and keep it. One of the few movies I could watch over and over again. Even with some disturbing scenes, my mom even liked it. It has a deep message, very touching. The Amazon.com review says it "chokes on its 'surprise' ending", but after watching the other endings from the special features menu, it's really the best ending they could have gone with. Definitely recommend this movie for fans of the Silent Hill stories.
Description of Jacob's Ladder
A Vietnam vet, back at home in New York City, finds himself losing his grip on reality, in a horrifying way; only his friend can help him.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: R
Release Date: 22-AUG-2006
Media Type: DVD
Vietnam veteran Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) thinks he is going insane. Or worse. When his nightmares begin spilling into his waking hours, Jacob believes he is experiencing the aftereffects of a powerful drug tested on him during Vietnam. Or perhaps his posttraumatic stress disorder is worse than most. Whatever is happening to him, it is not good. Director Adrian Lyne sparks our interest and maintains high production values, but this confusing film chokes on its "surprise" ending. It owes much to Ambrose Bierce's haunting and more straightforward story, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek." Written by Bruce Joel Rubin, who also explored the "other side" in Ghost and My Life, it ultimately feels like an exercise in self-indulgence. A spirited performance by Elizabeth Pe?a outshines Robbins, who is surprisingly lethargic. --Rochelle O'Gorman
