Jarhead
If you’re looking for your typical war movie, you won’t find it in Jarhead! “Every War is Different. Every War is the Same”. This movie focuses on the smaller aspects of war, the soldiers themselves that most of the time are absorbed by the war itself. For once, I got to see how it might feel to be there. I had a similar feeling when I saw Band of Brothers. The story follow a young Marine that has to go fight in Kuwait, we get to see all the low blows that exist in that universe and how some people had to join the army. This movie is about the people, the good and stupid stuff they do. I enjoyed watching it, had a sad-controversial humor. This movie is not for the faint of heart, but still might be a good rent.
This year is a big year for Jake Gyllenhaal, main star of Jarhead, co-starring Jamie Foxx. It’s a total of three movies for that young actor that hasn’t made this many movies yet. Be sure to check it’s filmography on IMDB for more information.
