pretty good anti-war movie

Rating: 7/10 (4 November 2005)

This is a movie based on the first gulf war in 91 but there are several movies that are better than this one like Three Kings and Courage Under Fire. This is also a war movie that has virtually no action and the characters in this movie are upset because they didn't get to kill anyone. Jake Gyllenhaal stars a young marine who goes through basic training to become a sniper and is upset that the war is over so quick. Jamie Foxx is his commander and Gyllenhaal is partners with Peter Sarsgaard. This was directed by Sam Mendes and is much better then his last movie The Road To Perdition. It's a pretty good war movie but there are better war movies out there.
