Jar Head The movie

Rating: 7/10 (12 November 2005)

First of all I would not recommend anyone under the age of 18 to see this movie. The language and images in this movie is very harsh. Now with my disclaimer out of the way.
This is a very good movie. This movie takes you on the side of war that many do not get to see. This movie is very gritty and very raw. It deals with the first gulf war and all the mental preparation it took for this type of scenario.
Jamie Foxx does an excellent job in this film. It's not Oscar Worthy but is a character that you would not expect to see Mr. Foxx playing.
The casting of this movie was absolutely great. I enjoyed this movie, but it seemed to drag on sometimes bogged down in little details. I guess I should have read the book.
The movie is a little above average, but it's not a contender in the movies in 2005 that I have seen thus far.
I would say go see it, but if you think of another movie you would like to see first, then see that movie and then come back and watch Jarrad.
