great movie but for some may be hard to watch
Critic Reviews
It is not often that a movie catches exactly what it was like to be this person in this place at this time, but Jarhead does.Full Review
Jarhead is about how the experience of being in the military fundamentally changes an individual. In this case, the focus isn't about the madness of slaughter in the jungle, but the madness of inaction in the desert.Full Review
Jarhead isn't overtly political, yet by evoking the almost surreal futility of men whose lust for victory through action is dashed, at every turn, by the tactics, terrain, and morality of the war they're in, it sets up a powerfully resonant echo of the one we're in today.Full Review
What we're left with is solid if not exceptional, though it's good to see Mendes expanding as a filmmaker.Full Review
A harsh and thoroughly unromantic examination of the scarring effects of war.Full Review
