War is boring and stupid, we get it.

Rating: 3/10 (12 April 2006)

This movie was a special kind of awful. It's slow and boring and pointless. Now, I realize that this is exactly the movie Sam Mendes wanted to make, but it's certainly not a movie I wanted to see.
Jake Gylenhal is just not a military guy. And he can't fake it, it's just not in him. He was horribly cast, the only thing he's good at is long, haunted looks at the desert or chared bodies.
And for some reason these are the gayest marines ever. They're constantly naked and spanking each other for no apparent reason. No one's even been naughty.
Decent soundtrack, scrap the rest.
