Review of Jarhead (2005) by Michael W — 06 Mar 2012
I love this movie! The movie performed like the book which was written like by an English major! The movie is well organized, and precise. One understands the bravado, institutional, and Spartan lifestyle of the Marines.
The viewer experiences the Marine characteristics through Anthony Swofford's experience from boot camp to combat. The movie is well directed and acted. There were many outstanding performances in Jarhead, especially by Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, and Jamie Foxx.
I love how the movie begins and ends likes the book, with narration at the beginning and the end which makes the movie go full circle. I give the movie a full five stars. One will understand Jarhead more if they were in the military, or had family in the military.
