Jacob's Ladder: reviews
Reviews
What the critics say average 4.1 from 5 outlets
- 5.0 Los Angeles TimesNoel Murray
The new Jacob?s Ladder is less strange and scary, and more mindlessly action-packed. It doesn?t feel like a dream. It?s more like hearing a stranger describe a dream.
Read - 5.0 New York PostSara Stewart
As an exploration of post-traumatic stress disorder in US war veterans, the psychological thriller Jacob?s Ladder was ripe for an update. As a piece of enjoyable ?90s shock schlock, it maybe should have just stayed where it was.

This Jacob?s Ladder isn?t likely to build much of a fanbase over the next 30 years. It?ll be lucky if anyone remembers it for 30 minutes.
Read - 3.3 The WrapWilliam Bibbiani
A shabby low-rent thriller with a few vaguely interesting ideas and an ensemble that deserves better material.
Read - 3.0 The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeFore
As jumbled as all this is, the film never achieves the kind of sweaty intensity of the original.
