“2 Jacks” (*1/2 out of four) was a losing hand told in two separate parts about a legendary but over-the-hill film director (Danny Huston) struggling to regain his footing and respect in Hollywood; film’s second half inexplicably shifts to his son (Jack Huston) who is struggling to break through in Hollywood. A disappointment from director Bernard Rose who has been a noted stylist who directed “Candyman”, “Immortal Beloved”, and many others; this time his story is aloof, incomprehensible at times, and too often boring. Both Hustons try their best but having them play father-and-son is a casting stunt that doesn’t pay off.
