Jacket
Unfortunately, Alien will miss this preview, but hopefully one of my trainees will fill in with some comments.
A psychological thriller about a military veteran who 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 day's time. Now the only question that matters is: can the woman he meets in the future save him?
My trainees have reported in and basically said they liked the film. One said, "I actually liked this movie despite the at times confusing flash backs." Another compared it to a Star Trek episode involving time travel and the paradoxes that occur if you can change history by knowing the future.
My trainees give it 2 "Beam me up, Scotty" stars out of 4.
