Puzzles By Josephine Wall

Adrian Lyne - Jacob's Ladder

This is, above all, a very rare movie ... very, very rare, directed by Adrian Lyne (the Flashdance-Nine and a half weeks) and screenplay by Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost just out of time and perpetrate the Deep Impact and Stuart Little 2-in case the first was not enough).






Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) is a veteran Vietnam War and, from time to time, it flashes on it. One day trying to run him down and the rear of the car can be seen a humanoid creature. From there, everything is thinning and passes not know what's real and what paranoid fantasy.

whole movie has a super atmosphere eighties. The clothes, hairstyles, light ... will note, radiating eighty in each scenario. There are only McFly and Doc Adrian Lyne uses a dark aesthetic, gloomy and disturbing that perfectly accompanies the story, which becomes more and more devious and sadistic. The violence is terribly explicit, somewhat surprisingly, in my opinion, and the action scenes are recorded at normal speed, not slow motion. I always forget how much I miss that there are no bullet time everywhere.

However, I do not think the actors do a great job. Met, yes, but not out in any way. The boy in the movie, however, makes it fatal, even for what little I expect from a kid. Robbins makes it better than others, true, but I think it is one of its roles more lucid.

work game seems pretty normalito cameras, though the scene in which, yes, the scene here slips under the belly of a helicopter in slow motion, so that the sonar the blades is adjusted in some way to speed movement I found it very colorful.

The characters are quite interesting, but getting the player they are not developed too much. I especially like the super putesca Jezebel.


A quarter of an hour at the end are told what is 'The Ladder': A super-drug that has been tested on an army battalion to see what was leaving it. The result is that the absolute psychopath crazy drag and just massacred each other.

a film, I suppose, full of biblical references to Jacob's ladder, the ladder on which angels ascend to and descend from heaven, but do not know the passage in depth.

Note: 7. The plot is very interesting and aesthetics and the environment keep one very tense throughout the movie. Despite its simplicity, I liked how it was recorded.
