welcome to the suck?....

Rating: 5/10 (6 February 2006)

Jarhead... I've gota say my expectations of this film where massive but after seeing it i was a little bit annoyed that the advertisements for it had deceived me into thinking it was a war film, well? it is a war film just without the war, maybe just the trauma that one soldier goes through.. Jake Gyllenhaal (the Jarhead) gives a surprisingly stunning performance throughout the film and during some scenes he actually makes you get that little stone in the back of your throut! :/ ....back to the film itself you cant help but think that something is about to happen, but it never does then you continue waiting.... and waiting.... the action comes in very small pieces but it does eventually click that this is NOT a war film as soon as you understand that you become glued to its compelling story! i wont go further just go and see it then buy the DVD and watch it again you will eventually love it! i hope to see more of this type of film soon! 5 stars*****
