Jacob's Ladder (1990)
Viet Nam vet Jacob is falling apart. He's mourning the death of his young son and has left his wife and other two children for a relationship with a co-worker. He's also experiencing hallucinations and terrifying flashbacks to a battle that left much of his platoon dead.
Though I generally dislike unreliable narrators, Tim Robbins is very very good here. That the film finally resolves to a well-trod trope, getting there is not as annoying as it could've been. But it's still just not my thing at all.
