Weak

Rating: 6/10 (20 August 2006)

Watered down remake of Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket", with linear plot and card-board cut characters. If this move was supposed to be a depicting of American troops on first Gulf War, were are the female troops, the cultural shock with the eastern culture and way of life ? Afert all, did America fought this war alone ? Where are the other coalition troops ? If they are stationed on Saudi Arabia, where are the Arabs at all ?? It's strange that the only good movie done to the present date depicting Gulf War was "Three Kings", even though been a fictional piece, had a more wheel structured plot and more developed characters
All in all, I think "Jarhead" worth a DVD run on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and nothing more.
