About this product

Product Information

For his third feature film, British director Sam Mendes (AMERICAN BEAUTY) turns to the pages of Anthony Swofford's 2003 book on his experiences in the first Gulf War, and enlists William Broyles Jr.--a former Lieutenant who fought in Vietnam--to convert it into a screenplay. Mendes's film strays into FULL METAL JACKET territory as it opens, with young recruit Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal) undertaking some rigorous basic training under the steely, watchful eye of Staff Sgt. Sykes (Jamie Foxx). Impressed, Sykes invites Swofford to join his team, and partners him with Troy (Peter Sarsgaard), ultimately taking them to Saudi Arabia to fight in the first Gulf War. But once they arrive in the punishing heat of the desert, the long wait for battle sends many of the Marines dangerously close to the brink of insanity.Drawing on the experience of acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION) to help viewers get a close-up taste of the Marines' punishing life in the desert, Mendes's film enters into deeply unsettling territory, the likes of which many cinemagoers won't have experienced since Martin Sheen lost his tenuous grip on reality in APOCALYPSE NOW. Indeed, Mendes deploys a few similar tactics to those that made Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film so effective: a hip soundtrack that uses songs from artists as varied as Public Enemy and the Rolling Stones, and a feeling of disillusionment and futility among the troops that really digs in when the battle finally blackens the desert skies. Avoiding any overt antiwar sentiments, Mendes instead provides a thoughtful account of life as a modern day soldier, demonstrating how technology has made the average Marine's job all but redundant, and created disaffected troops who are as much a threat to each other as the enemies they wait to face in the trenches.

I gave it a 1 because they didn't offer zero
Well it looks like Menndes is taking another swipe at the USMC, heaping it on top of American Beauty's portrail of the surpressed homosexual murdering Marine. The movie is in fact boring. The characters are in fact one dimensional and give little or nothing to care about. Jarhead tries in fact to elicit some kind of emotional response the way Full Metal Jacket did, but the simple fact is there is no reason to care for the characters. Now having said that, Swofford, whose book this movie is based on ( I didn't read the book ) may indeed have had a tough time with his duty in Desert Storm. But to portray the entire USMC or at least his platoon as a bunch of no minded, uneducated, untrained and stupid oafts is supremely biased at best. The portrayal of Marines losing it after only a few ...

But to portray the entire USMC or at least his platoon as a bunch of no minded, uneducated, untrained and stupid oafts is supremely biased at best. The portrayal of Marines losing it after only a few months in the desert, awaiting the conflict begs one to ask the question "how did our Marines and the rest of the military make it through WWI and WWII"? This movie reeks of agenda, especially when the public needs to be swayed by Hollywood into their way of thinking. Go speak to a real Marine or soldier. Go ask them what is really going on. Use the money to send some books or granola bars to the men and women serving right now instead of buying this drivel. Or simply go with the flow like you are expected to and say this movie is good, even though you fell asleep 10 minutes in.

SOOOOOOO SLOW!!!
So, maybe I was expecting something totally different when I saw this movie. Or, maybe I was really tired and it made the movie seem to go slower than it really did. Come on...........how can a movie about a bunch of marines be slow? I honestly don't know what my expectations were of this movie, and I certainly wasn't tired, so I guess this was just a VERY slow movie. The beginning was very good and grabbed you right away, but then it stopped and dragged on for the next hour and a half. I like Jaime Foxx and Jake Gyllenhaal, but even they couldn't make this film move along. I wouldn't say this was a bad movie, but it was almost a chore having to watch the whole thing. There were parts that made you laugh and a part or two that got me a little teary, but as a whole, Jarhead did not ... So, maybe I was expecting something totally different when I saw this movie.

I know, I could have turned it off, but once I start a movie, I have to finish it - some weird thing that's in me, I guess!

Jarhead DVD
From a personal perspective, Jarhead took place in a real life event, but the event was not the focus of the movie. The movie, if you understand war, represented the truth of war no matter how evil publicity has made it. War is not always about the casualties, but how the troops live on to tell their experiences. The comedy and drama from this film brings the realism of what it is like being in the military. This is why I like the movie. The only dislike I found was that it did not have the fighting from Desert Storm, but rather how one Marine grows up through the corps. If you like watching Full Metal Jacket, you will enjoy Jarhead as well, (same creator).From a personal perspective, Jarhead took place in a real life event, but the event was not the focus of the movie.

Don't trust the previews - this movie is awful!
I love a good war movie.. I love a good action movie.. this movie provides neither. This is by far the worst movie I've ever seen with such a talented cast. If you've seen the previews, you've seen the best parts of the movie. Everything else is - more or less - just filler. Bottom Line: Only watch this movie if you are having trouble falling asleep.
