If you are claustrophobic this is the wrong movie to watch! During many scenes in the movie Jack (Adrien Brody) is in a straight jacket and put in a morgue drawer, while he is still alive! In this review from the New York Daily Newspaper, Jami Bernard writes, "Ironically, Jack's downtime in this coffin environment works for him. Claustrophobic and sweating, he hallucinates — much of the movie is shot to approximate his semi-delirious state of mind — and imagines himself into the future." He goes through many mentally draining things during the entire movie. Bernard also compares his appearance to that to the role he played in "The Pianist." "In "The Pianist," he evaded Nazis in burned-out Warsaw. Now there's "The Jacket," a deliberately disjointed psychological thriller in which he's tortured, shot, shell-shocked, locked in a morgue drawer and, once again, looks short on proper nutrition."
