Jarhead
Directed by Sam Mendes
Under Kuwaitkriget beger sig en grupp marinsoldater ut i den obarmhärtiga ökenhettan för att utföra ett uppdrag som krypskyttar på jakt efter en fiende de inte ser i ett land de inte känner av en anledning de inte förstår. Men de är alla stolta soldater födda in i en tradition av frivillig värvning och de skulle aldrig komma på tanken att överge sin uppgift av en så enkel orsak.

Jarhead Ratings & Reviews
- ርልዪረ28 december 2025As someone who is in the military, I thought this movie was perfect. If you are looking for a message about war or politics you won't find it here. This movie is strictly a story told by the main character about his time serving in the Marine Corps and his tour in the Gulf. It is true to life. From the language, situations, to the way the characters interact, the film is right on with accuracy. The film is shot with striking cinematography. Scenes in the desert, especially with the oil fires, are breathtaking. The shots are done perfectly and originally throughout while the score and soundtrack takes it to a powerful emotional level. The film will receive bad reviews from a political standpoint. I read a couple before I saw the movie that all stated they didn't like the movie because it had no message or stance. To that I say good. It was refreshing to see a movie as a movie. I was glad that it was just a story, and there wasn't any motivation underneath it. That's not to say that the movie is one dimensional. There are many undertones, just none of which are attempting to reassert or defame the current war in the East. See this film if you want to see a humorous, sad, psychotic, intense, and most importantly REAL story
