Review of Jarhead (2005) by Billys. — 05 Nov 2005
Start with the stark coldness of Kubricks "Full Metal Jacket", then add the visual poetic beauty of Malicks "The Thin Red Line", take away the righteous glory of fighting a war for freedom in Speilbergs "Saving Private Ryan", mix it all together to get the lonely emptiness of fighting a war for oil in Sam Mendes's "Jarhead".
An instant classic in any genre, as a war movie without a political agenda- a precedent.
