Jacknife

****
A touching and well written 'Coming home' Vietnam War film. There are many of them, most are really good and this one is no exception although I think it cleverly tones down the subject while other films that had come before tend to all end in tragedy or a big event. The three main performances from Robert De Niro, Ed Harris and Kathy Baker are all of high quality. I love it when I discover a little known gem by accident and a little gem this is.
