Visually astounding and truly frightening, Adrian Lyne’s hallucinogenic film centers on a Vietnam veteran (Robbins) whose life shifts seamlessly between past, present, and future—between reality and terrifying illusion. Deeply affected by his experiences in Vietnam, including being dosed with a derivative of LSD to increase his capacity for killing, Jacob experiences multiple realities: divorced and living with another woman; married and successful with children; dead on a field-hospital table in Vietnam. Robbins’s remarkable performance as a man experiencing the baddest of bad trips anchors this challenging work.
