James E All time classic. I love this movie. It's dark and watchable over and over again. In my all time top ten...easy. Top Marks! Cool AF. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review Ashley M A blistering, nerve-shredding film. Watching it feels like you are experiencing a nightmare. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Tezus G Weet dan niemand waar de film over gaat? Er wordt gesproken in raadsels, terwijl het eigenlijk niet zo moeilijk is. Het gaat namelijk over drugs die het leger uitvoerde op zijn militairen. Echt gebeurd trouwens ben jammer genoeg de naam vergeten ven de drugs en kan het niet meer terug vinden, deze film staat in de top tien allertijden voor mij, denk dat ik hem +- 6 keer gezien heb, is een goede om hem beter te zien, ik zie sowieso het Amerikaanse sprookje, veel succes allemaal en probeer hem met andere ogen te zien. Oja èèn ding de nr1 film is Ran. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/04/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review James B A cinematic masterpiece, my favourite movie I’ve ever watched, but, it’s a very confusing plot, won’t spoil it, but it’s also the most confusing movie I’ve watched, doesn’t make it bad, just saying it’s not for everyone, and, on that note, it’s quite graphic, so again, not for every one. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review W.L. C "Jacob's Ladder" has been on my list of films to see for the last 34 years. I was intrigued and highly entertained throughout, and I had hoped for a resolution that would tie it all together nicely. Sadly, I didn't get that, and the film was completely ruined by the cheap twist at the end--one that is endlessly used by writers running out of time or imagination (or both). Robbins' performance is stellar and Peña is excellent, but Aiello steals the movie in a single scene. Add to this the now-famous practical horror effect of the "demonic head shake"--in which an actor is filmed at a low frames-per-second rate while shaking their head without moving their shoulders--and the film is a nearly perfect conspiracy and mental health awareness tale...and then the ending crumples it up and throws it in the trash. There is no payoff, no resolution, no room left for, "I wonder what happened to Jake." You know, and you're angry. Rating would have been higher if not for the end.
