MOVIE REVIEW: Jack's Back

 


A young medical student is accused of a series of murders after he himself is killed. The police believe they have an open and shut case, until his identical twin brother shows up claiming that he saw the truth of what happened in a dream.

This movie is actually a pretty good one starring James Spader in a duel role as both brothers. His style of acting is superbly fitted to the role of the surviving brother trying to clear his twin’s name. This is not only a murder mystery but also a thriller that incorporates the psychic link between twins. One of the really nice surprises of this one is the appearance of Robert Picardo (of Star Trek: Voyager fame) as the psychiatrist working with the police on the murder investigation. A great little 80s gem.
