I seen this film in theaters when it came out. After seeing Max Payne and being upset that the use of the marine corps was misrepresented and under researched, I realized that Jarhead truly should serve film makers as an example... Full review

I enjoy going to the movies and watching action in movies that predicate action. This movie should have been about the Marines and what they do. Instead, this movie revolves around a Private and his complaint that he never gets to... Full review

Whoever in Hollywood put this movie together should be ashamed of themselves to portray all Marines as borderline pyschos. They probably loved this movie in San Francisco. This is an anti-war, anti-American, anti-Military movie. I wanted to walk out halfway through... Full review

I spent 6 years in the Marine Corps and let me tell ya... It's obvious they didn't have any direction from any REAL Marines. I had to turn this off about half way through because it was so terrible!... Full review

I love war films and what they have done to American cinema. That being said this was a kick in the gut and leaves a very powerful impression on the viewer. Jake Gyellenhaal is phenomenal as Swofford and I think Sam... Full review

Jarhead" is about the long and boring build up to Operation Desert Sabre and the quick and surprising end of the conflict for a platoon of Marine snipers. Jarhead" takes a good look at the trials and tribulations of a Marine and the effects of the long wait to take a walk in the sand. ... Full Review

Killer Movie Reviews
With JARHEAD, based on Anthony Swofford's arresting memoir of the same name about his time in It is an intrinsically interesting process, and one well served with Jake Gyllenhaal as Swofford. In perfect contrast is Peter Sarsgaard as his fellow sniper and best buddy, who delivers the sort of understated performance that bespeaks something dangerous and unpredictable underneath. ...

This insight, achieved through a myriad small details, genuine humour that springs from character and circumstance and careful writing, is the film's special gift to audiences. Foxx and Sarsgaard are equally satisfying in what are confronting, challenging roles. ... Full Review

Boxoffice Magazine
These scenes contain jolting moments of new-guard storytelling, but there's too much old-guard storytelling for the film to feel completely fresh. These roles need strong actors because we get scant information about the soldiers as individuals. ... Full Review
