Review of Jarhead (2005) by Zachary C — 25 Oct 2012
In all honesty this was one of my favorite war movies. When I first watched this movie I was expecting what most people were expecting from this movie: explosions, people getting killed and great action. We the audience got the first two but not the latter.
This is one of those movies that you see the bomb dropping (bomb meaning you're expecting action scenes are gonna start), but once it hits you find out it doesn't explode and you're just as disappointed as Swoff when he finds out he's finally going home after not fulfilling any such bloodlust he craves. So needless to say I was really pissed after watching this for the first time. Yet before I knew it I was watching this movie a third time and I'm about to watch it a fourth time.
Other than the fact that it's basically a war movie without the war, it's a great movie with great cinematography, great directing, AMAZING ACTING( with two minor exceptions). Semper Fi Jarheads.
