But No Matter What Else He Might Do With His Hands, Love A Woman, Build A House, Change His Sons Diaper; His Hands Remember The Rifle.

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 2011)

Director Sam Mendes gives us a very visual memoir with Jarhead. The film tells the true story of Anthony Swofford played by Jake Gyllenhaal who signs up to be enlisted in the United States Marines. The film also follows Swofford his friend Troy played by Peter Sarsgaard and his Staff Sgt. Sykes played by Jamie Foxx and the rest of his platoon going into the Gulf War. This is one of the best war movies ever made and it ranks up there with Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, and Saving Private Ryan the acting is superb and the way they capture the memoirs by Anthony Swofford is amazing. I definitely recommend it.
Rated R For Pervasive Language, Some Violent Images And Strong Sexual Content.
