Jacob

Between everything competing for your attention, Jacob in the US on FlixFling, and in the UK on Amazon Prime Video is worth clearing space for. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. With 19 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch it for Grace Powell — one of the stronger performances out there right now. Put it on tonight on FlixFling and see for yourself.

Jacob arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Jacob trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. Lonely and disturbed Jacob Kell loved his little sister more than anything on earth. When tragedy strikes, Jacob retaliates the only way he knows how - and anyone who crosses his path will know there is no limit to his brutal vengeance. Grace Powell and Dylan Horne lead a cast that treats the material with real seriousness. Jacob came out in 2011. What elevates Jacob is a refusal to let any character off the hook too easily. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Viewers drawn to character-driven storytelling will find plenty to sit with in Jacob. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Grace Powell's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.

Jacob was released in 2011, directed by Larry Wade Carrell. The full 90-minute film is available to watch now.
