The movie follows the story of Jack Starks (Adrien Brody), an American soldier who is wounded in the Gulf War and left with amnesia. After being accused of murder and sentenced to death, Jack finds himself in a mental asylum without any memory of what happened. While undergoing experimental treatment, Jack is put into a straight jacket and locked up in a morgue drawer. However, Jack soon realizes that his jacket has a unique quality - it allows him to travel through time.

Throughout the film, Jack jumps back and forth through time, revisiting moments from his past and future. He also interacts with different characters, including Jackie (Keira Knightley), a troubled young woman who helps Jack remember who he is and what happened to him.

As Jack begins to piece together his memories, he learns that he may not have committed the murder that he was accused of. With the help of Jackie and Dr. Lorenson (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Jack tries to uncover the truth and clear his name.

The movie explores themes of memory, time-travel, and trauma with a stunning visual style that creates a suspenseful and sometimes unsettling atmosphere. Adrien Brody delivers a great performance, portraying Jack's confusion and despair with depth and nuance. Keira Knightley also shines as a complex and deeply troubled character.

Overall, "The Jacket" is a well-crafted and thoughtful movie that will keep you engaged until the very end. The twist at the end may come as a surprise to some viewers, but the journey to get there is worth it.
