Review: Jarhead
A very unconventional war movie, definitely not the usual full force explosion type. It’s a bit on the tame side, probably because it’s based on a book, based on real life experiences. This means the drama probably has a creative license here and there, but it’s not a full story where they can go deep into the characters. It’s not really heading to a message either, it’s just a view of a particular deployment in Kuweit during Desert Shield & Storm. But at least the acting is of high standard, and there are some unusual visual styles (a la American Beauty Sam Mendes).6½.
