Jackson poster

Released in 2008, Jackson is a drama film directed by J.F. Lawton, running about 97 minutes. “This is going to be the best day of your life.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Donald (Barry Primus) promises Sam (Charlie Robinson) the best day of his life. This seems unlikely, given they are both homeless men mired in the bleak landscape of Los Angeles' Skid Row. Moreover, the source of Donald's optimism is a mere $20 bill (called a "Jackson") which he bummed off a passing businessman (Steve Guttenberg) earlier that day. But Donald vows that with it, they can do anything, and drags a reluctant Sam off in search of adventure.

Who’s in it. Jackson stars Barry Primus as Donald, Charles Robinson as Sam, Steve Guttenberg as Businessman and Debra Jo Rupp as Nice Lady, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 2.0/10, Jackson has proved divisive with audiences.
