Review of Jarhead (2005) by Asif K — 06 Jun 2010
Gyllenhaal is the heart and soul of a darkly funny and ferociously intense movie that sets its sights on soldiers under the gun of doing nothing. This is a very strong film with really good performances.
arhead can be described in one word : Incredible. An absolutely intense and horrifying look at what being a soldier is all about. This is not anti-American, or anti-war, it's just an amazing look at one man's life during wartime.
An intense and remarkable film experiance. A haughtingly insightful film. The best military drama since Full Metal Jackett. An extreamly powerful and astonishing movie. Director, Sam Mendes has created another truly engaging masterwork.
