This guy doesn't just write to movie stars, he writes to movies!!
Dear The Jacket,
Thank you for coming on my TV at 4:15am. I was home and awake and had just watched Adrien Brody in King Kong earlier tonight. I love that guy. I heard that you were a confusing movie, so I turned off the computer and phone (yes, people do phone me at 4:30am from time to time) to ensure that I could pay close attention to you. I was fully prepared to enjoy you to the fullest.
The problem? Well, you kind of sucked. So...he got shot in the head in Iraq, and again by the cop, but he still ended up in a mental hospital for murder? Why? Was his lawyer some kind of idiot? Who the hell were all those other patients they mentioned? Why mention them if you aren't going to develop them into anything? Was it just an excuse to write in some terrible crimes? Know what I mean? You were basically one part Jacobs Ladder, one part Memento, and one part every cliche in this genre. Did you even read your own script? Perhaps your closeness to it make you lack a proper perspective.
Also, I do not like seeing people confined in tight spaces. I did enjoy Mr Brody in this terrible movie that he was excellent in. In it, he kidnaps a lady and buries her alive. How fitting that his "Starks" character undergoes a similar confinement. *shudder* I hate that shit, as anyone who has seen me watch Kill Bill Vol 2 knows all too well.
So I'm sorry, The Jacket, but I just didn't think you were very good. Since you are on HBO this month, I may give you another watching with subtitiles on. Maybe I'll catch on to more of the mumbly dialogue. Then again, a lot of people seem to agree with me. You just wrote too many checks your butt (not to mention your lame excuse for an ending) couldn't cash.
Sincerely,
wednes
