Continuity mistake: When Jacob is talking on the phone while shaving, the amount of shaving cream on his face changes from shot to shot.
Jacob's Ladder (1990)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Adrian Lyne
Starring: Ving Rhames, Tim Robbins, Danny Aiello, Jason Alexander, Matt Craven
Jake died in Vietnam. The movie is the result of his spirit which doesn't want to accept his dead and clinges to life (the idea of this is told by Louis, a less convincing interpretation is that it is a hallucination shortly before his dead). Once he "accepts" his dead, he goes "to heaven".

Army Officer: Mr. Singer. What an appropriate name for a man who can't keep his mouth shut.
Trivia: Macaulay Culkin, although playing a truly pivotal role, is not credited. Pretty peculiar, huh?
