War from a marine's perspective

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2020)

Despite the absence of gory war sequences and gunfires, Jarhead counts as a Great War movie. It's realistic, scary at times and a depiction of the Gulf war that I am unaware of. Cinematography is great. Sam Mendes brings a different charm to a war movie that compells is to think after the movie even after the movie is over. The question that the soldiers keep asking themselves " Are they really out of the war zone?"
