Jacknifeis about the war after the war.It begins with Megs' unannounced arrival at the doorstep of David.
De Niro’s Megs is a man who chooses survival.
He embraces the messiness that his past has brought along.
He’s a man ever on the move, goofy, talkative, and can even be quite annoying.
In contrast, Harris' David has completely shut down.
De Niro not only kicks plenty of ass in this film but delivers a layered performance.
