Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
Tim Robbins gives a strong performance in this first-class horror yarn, which has a surprisingly strong political edge.

The New York Times - Janet Maslin
The ending of Jacob's Ladder, when it finally arrives, is, like much of the film, both quaint and devastating.
88
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
This movie left me reeling with turmoil and confusion, with feelings of sadness and despair. Those are the notes it strives for.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
I wouldn't go so far as to classify Jacob's Ladder as a masterpiece, but it is smart and compelling and unquestionably worth a first or second look.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Truly frightening and visually unique, this messy, challenging film is anchored by Tim Robbins' remarkable performance.
