Perfect War Film, without all the Bullsh*t

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2005)

This movie was f**kin awesome! I could not have imagined a war movie to be so perfect that no matter where you stand politically, you totally believe in the film. Jarhead goes there! The story is so beautifully told and the message is gotten without all the politics. It's kinda sad that it took a British man to do such a thing, but major props for Mendes for doing something that no American could! I'm republican, and I really felt like I was going to come out of the theater with some anger, but I truly didn't, and I am awed by that. Gyllenhaal deserves four Oscars and Sarsgaard ten. The pair together are brilliant on screen, and knowing that they are so close outside of Hollywood makes the relationship just that much more real. Jamie Foxx wisely chose a small, yet important role, emphasizing his star power even more. Go see it, talk to everyone you know about it. It's exhilarating.
