The Jacket

Time-bending sc-fi thriller.

Jack is a Desert Storm veteran who finds himself wrongly accused of murder. He is sent to a facility for the criminally insane where a doctor subjects him to an experimental and unethical treatment. Restrained in a straitjacket, drugged, and locked in a morgue drawers for hours, Jack travels forward in time and finds out he’s meant to die in 4 days. He and Jackie, a young woman he met in the future must figure out how it happens so they can stop it.

Like most time bending stories, it does run into paradox issues, and as a mid 2000s era film, it does the torture porn horror thing where everything has that green filter on and everything is a little grimy. The doctors’ white coats are yellowed from sweat, the straitjacket is frayed, has blood and sweat stains. That morgue hasn’t had a mopping in a while.

But it’s still fun, with a good mystery at its core even if the answers are lacking a bit at the end.

A time travel movie. The time travel starts with the traveler barefoot, injected with a drug, strapped in a "straitjacket" and placed in a morgue drawer. He arrives in hos new "time zone" in winter clothes.
