GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

mdharper There is nothing to ground the viewer in this film so there is no drama. It's just an exercise in endurance to get to the explanation in the end. It's not worth it.

elizabethdawson-78805 Jacob's Ladder has attained cult status and rightly so- this is a haunting psychological horror film with some surreal imagery and scenes which will make you distinctly squirm. Tim Robbins plays Vietnam vet who is suffering from perhaps post traumatic disorder or something else. He realizes that almost the entirety of his battalion is also going through something similar. He decides to make sense of this and get answers. As mentioned earlier the images are surreal and terrifying as is the slow descent into madness that we as audiences feel. The tone is suitably dreary with low lights, dripping rain and shadows. Go watch Jacob's Ladder to be creeped out.

mwhym-74320 Jacob's ladder is one of the few movies that has invoked a true plethora of opinions in regards to what it was all about as well as what many individual scenes actually portrayed.It is a journey of the soul and human consioussness, a portrayal of the struggle between life and death as much as good and evil, even if the two are not always distinguishable.Tim Robbins and the rest of the cast give masterful performances, through a story that, although a bit fragmented, paints a fantastic picture of the main character's life.It would be very hard to analyze the movie more without spoiling it with my own interpretations and this movie is all about your interpretation. Better to watch it and decide what its all about, on your own.A true hidden gem.

gogoschka-1 This is simply one of the best films hardly anyone ever saw (OK - it's got 80+ thousand votes on IMDb - but I'm still amazed that it's not 3 times that number). Amazing script, acting, story, visuals; it makes you wonder why Adrian Lyne didn't make more films of that caliber. Don't get frustrated if you don't understand the film at first. It DOES make sense, but it usually takes repeat viewings to figure this one out. 9 stars out of 10.In case you're interested in more underrated masterpieces, here's some of my favorites:imdb.com/list/ls070242495
