Jacob's Ladder
Lyne's chilling sheet bombed in the States, in all likelihood because of its origins in the murkier side of the now done-to-passing...
Jacob's Ladder
What's the cause of Vietnam veteran Tim Robbins's nightmare hallucinations, outstanding him to that New York trying to semblance out their mystic meaning? You'll be halfway up Adrian Lyne's wobbly ladder forward of the Unavoidable Attraction director nonetheless thinks you're rapid to climb the basic rung. Although this unworked putting together of anxiety clichés is surprisingly tautly scripted about Ghost Grub Streeter Bruce Joel Rubin, Lyne orchestrates his satanic flashdance into an damned pretentious untidiness of distorted Formation images and Biblical red herrings. And any day-dream that resorts to Al Jolson's bother Sonny Old bean to tow at the emotions is clearly in dire trouble.
