Two Jacks is finally more of a curiosity than a viable dramatic event, but its bringing together of Danny and Jack Huston in a pair of tales related to their filmic legacy makes it a pungent if small addition to the legend of the Huston family.
The movie as a whole has an immediacy that’s appealing even in its weaker second half.
Ultimately, it’s little more than a trifle that’s enlivened by the older Huston’s inevitably referential performance.
Inconsistencies cause more confusion than the magic Rose is presumably going for.
Slack narrative and abysmal dialogue render the vague generational satire meaningless to anyone unfamiliar with Tolstoy’s work (and depressing to those in the know).
If there’s any social commentary being made here, it doesn’t come through in performances so wooden you can’t tell if the actors are that bad or the characters that vapid.
The embarrassingly low production value of Bernard Rose's 2 Jacks works symbiotically with the film's botched performances.
