and Lyne's usual atmospherics are all this has going for it, IMO. Man, Diane Lane....

Lyne's a strange director. Just watched his Lolita over the weekend and was quite impressed. He's so intent on making his films steamy and controversial (I think he probably took up Jacob's Ladder only because it had earned a reputation as the script no one in Hollywood wanted to touch) that Lolita's content, taking care of itself on that score, allowed him to approach his material with greater sensitivity. Dominique Swain makes the movie worth watching all by herself. Hard to believe she'd never acted and never had any training in acting before that role.
