Jackson is alive

About This Movie

So, 'Jackson is Alive' is this fascinating mix of genres that pulls you in with its gritty narrative. You’ve got Hongor, or Dans, who's just getting out after a long stretch, and Ogurtsy, this minor crook, who together find themselves entangled with a corrupt politician named Khuzu. The film plays with dark humor amidst the chaos, weaving in those heavy themes of survival and betrayal. The pacing is a bit uneven at times but it seems intentional, almost mirroring the jagged lives of the characters. Practical effects are used sparingly, yet effectively, bringing a rawness to the action sequences. The performances have a certain authenticity that feels refreshing. It’s one of those films that stays with you, not because of spectacle but due to its soul.
