    Jacob a vietnam veteran cant help but wonder if hes already dead and if his dark existence is merely a hallucination. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 09/05/2006 Starring: Tim Robbins Mccauley Caulkin Run time: 116 minutes Rating: R Director: Adrian Lyne

    Description of Jacob's Ladder:
    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 Peña outshines Robbins, who is surprisingly lethargic. --Rochelle O'Gorman

    Jacob's Ladder Reviews:
    Disappointed 3 Star Review
    2009-07-30 - 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.

    Must have movie 5 Star Review
    2009-07-10 - 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.

    Acceptance... 5 Star Review
    2009-06-26 - 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...

    Great movie, great story, great effects 5 Star Review
    2009-06-11 - 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.

    3.5 stars out of 4 5 Star Review
    2009-06-10 - The Bottom Line:

    An extremely dark mind-bender of a film, Jacob's Ladder wallows in the depths of paranoia, with seemingly every shot containing something sinister or something lurking beneath the surface; watching it isn't necessarily a "fun" experience, but if you like movies that make you think or make you scared, you could hardly do better than this twisted 1990 film from the director of Fatal Attraction.
