average movie about the war life of a US Marine Sniper with better camera work

Rating: 7/10 (24 January 2006)

The movie about a man who joins the US Marine Corps and "becomes" assigned to be a scout / sniper joins the Gulf.
My main comment on this movie is that the story was rather empty. Low character development and no true depth. In contrast i would recommend Full Metal Jacket. Some scenes used in Jarhead even come directly from of this movie! If you want to see a movie about the war-life of the American soldier that movie is way better (not considering i know what that life is of course).
A plus on off the movie was the way it was shot and the excellent settings! beautifully done. Anyways, an average movie that you do not need to see, but is a nice way to use up some of your otherwise useless time.
