Jarhead 10/10- Best Film Of The Year!

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2005)

Sam Mendes 3rd film isn't his best film but its still an amazing film. Sam Mendes has merged into becoming one of the greatest directors of all time after only 3 films (American Beauty, Road To Perdition).
Jarhead isn't really your average war film with explosions and excitement left and right. Its a war film about the human condition. It examines how young men deal with boredom; with the possibility of a death that will probably never come. Its about being made into a killer and not being able to do what you love. Jarhead shows this perfectly, you can see the pain and frustration of every soldier on the screen.
Jarhead is rigged with so many pluses its hard to count. Things like Cinematography, Score, Soundtrack, Art Direction are amazing in this film, but the thing that Jarhead really has to offer is Acting. Peter Sarsgaard, and Jamie Foxx are sure to pick up some awards this year for there amazing performances.
The Best thing Jarhead has to offer is an amazing performance by Jake Gyhlenhaal. He is absolutely stunning in every minute of this film and deserves all the critical acclaim that is sure to come to him.
Jarhead is th Best film of the year thus far, its a must see despite some mixed reviews that have been based souly on politics. A MUST SEE!
