Starts Out Great; But Really Hits Rock Bottom

Rating: 1/10 (7 November 2005)

The main rule of all films should be to entertain. It is true that a film can educate and inform; but still, all films should be entertaining.
Jarhead violates this rule. In a clear effort to make a point, Jarhead spends all but the first segment of the film boring the audience. This film is well acted and builds-up great anticipation.
But the film makers' attempt at some type of trendy boring message film really falls short.
The first segment of this film will have you rolling in your seat (about 20 min). The rest of the film is just bad film making!
