A story, a man picks up a rifle... and you'll never forget this movie.

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 2005)

Definitely one of the best films of the year, easily a strong contender for many Oscars, Jarhead is a war movie unlike any other. Avoiding bloody battles and focusing on characters makes this more relative then most other war films. Although when it comes to war films you wont ever see better then Saving Private Ryan, Jarhead ranks among the best of the best. The story is deep and meaningful, the character development is extraordinary, the cinematography is stunning, the performances are Oscar caliber all around, and overall its a masterpiece. The movie works on every level, from the excellent dialogue to the many unforgettable images, its a true work of art. Apparently its receiving some bad reviews, but as usual thats only because this is a film that requires the use of your brain. Do your self a favor, open your mind and forget about Saw 2, and go see this instead. 10 out of a 10.
