Good and Disturbing















So, a military veteran returns to his native Vermont suffering from bouts of amnesia. When he is accused of murder and lands in an asylum, a well-meaning doctor puts him on a heavy course of experimental drugs, restrains him in a jacket-like device, and locks him away in a body drawer of the basement morgue. The process sends him on a journey into the future, where he can foresee his death (but not who did it or how) in four days' time. Now the only question that matters is: can the woman he meets in the future save him?

That's the synopsis of The Jacket pretty much. I just watched this movie this past weekend (even though I've had it sitting on the shelve for weeks) and I really enjoyed it. It was the usual mess-with-your-head thriller that I love to watch. I don't know but the combination of psychological disturbance and romantism are some of the most appealing combinations to me. I'm weird that way. It was a pretty interesting story actually, no joke. You should check it out if you have some time. It actually reminded me of The Butterfly Effect too, although The Butterfly Effect was a bit more disturbing.
Anyway, I hope you have some time to check both out if you haven't already. Hope you enjoy the pics too!!
