This reimagining is more focused on paranoia and the relationship between Jacob and Isaac than it is creating a terrifying metaphor for PTSD, and the horror element is largely forgotten. It doesn't really offer any depth beyond that, either.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 23, 2019

Only the commitment from the always-solid Michael Ealy saves it from being one of the worst movies of the year.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 23, 2019

The new "Jacob's Ladder" plays like a half-hearted sketch of the movie it could have been.

| Aug 23, 2019

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.

| Aug 23, 2019

A shabby, low-rent thriller with a few vaguely interesting ideas and an ensemble that deserves better material.

| Aug 22, 2019

As the plot moves forward, it loses interest in the metaphysical torment that made the original so gripping.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 22, 2019

It was funhouse schlock with pretensions of seriousness, but a lot of its visual ideas oozed their way into the genre gene pool.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 21, 2019

A psych-out that's more muddled than beguiling.
