Jarhead is a war film without the war and what happens to those in it when nothing happens? It's an incredibly difficult to make and difficult to watch unless you have a very set mindset. There is no action, there is no payoff, it ends with a whimper not a bang. And that's the point. The acting is stellar and there are some superb shots. Without a doubt this is one of the hardest movies to watch and appreciate: good people break and in the end all you're left with is a hollow experience.

The beginning is outstanding, and at first it's one of the best contemporary war movies: poignant, painful, cynical, and gripping. That promise goes unfulfilled, as the film suffers from the same lack of resolution and substance that the war did for Swofford. It's not a problem that no one fires--it's a problem that what does happen has literally no effect except to underline the central conflict. It's pretty, and the acting is good, but ultimately it fails to transcends mere entertainment.

A pretty good movie that suffers by shifting between character study and war movie. It does both well enough to be enjoyable and give you some things to think about, but they don't mesh together enough to bring the movie to another level.

Most war movies tell us that war is hell. This one says: no war is hell too. Jarhead is an amazing movie with absolutely stunning cinematography (I think the Oscar is locked already), and excellent acting from everyone involved. This is a completely character driven script, since almost nothing happens during the entire movie, but that nothing is so damn fascinating! So why 8.5? I believe the movie is a bit long and needed some extra editing. There are quite a few scenes which serve almost no p

You have to go into this with the right mind-set, but it's a great movie. The complaints I hear about it are mostly that the film lacked Saving Private Ryan-style action sequences, but this is not that kind of movie, and the first Gulf War was not that kind of war. Nothing happens. ...and that's the point. It's often a visually stunning film, and Peter Sarsgaard continues to establish himself as one of the best working actors in Hollywood. Sam Mendes doesn't know how to make bad movies.

Peter Sarsgaard outshines Jake Gyllenhall in this realistic depiction of life in the Gulf war. If you're looking for action this is not for you, one of my favourite scenes is actually the one when the soldiers get frustrated themselves from the lack of it.

Not at all terrible but just isn't doing anything interesting you haven't seen a dozen times before. It's well made and acted but seems stuck in a weird limbo between classic war movies like Full Metal Jacket and more modern takes on this subject still to come at this point like Generation Kill. With a ton of more interesting war movies coming out during the following years this already feels terribly dated.

A different take on the "war movie" genre. If I had to compare it to anything else, it would be the first half of Full Metal Jacket. The same intense atmosphere. Feels like it could have had a lot more potential. Not that the minimal tone is a downside, per se. I suppose I was just expecting something different. Also, is it just me or is Jamie Foxx not likable as an actor at all?

I really have the feeling that it was supposed to be deeper and more thoughtful than it was. Whatever sort of social commentary that is attempted here doesn't really work and you end up with a kinda flat "what the hell was the point of this"-feeling in the end. It clearly owes a lot to previous war movies such as Full Metal Jacket, but it's not nearly as good as it's predecessors. That being said it's not offensively bad in any way and special props to Jamie Foxx. He stole the show here.

A lot of movies explore the senselessness of war by showing the horrors of violence and carnage brought about by it. What Jarhead does is show the senselessness of war by examining just how pointlessly boring it can be. You go through hell in boot camp, you move across the world, you never even fire your weapon, and then you go home. Mendes shoots with an amazing eye for dramatic composition, and the story he tells here is riveting, even without the action.

A peculiar beast: very well-acted, beautifully shot, smartly assembled, and yet miserably inert and distant. None of the scenes of tension or emotional distress arrive with any gravity. Maybe because the Mendes method for composition tends towards the overly controlled--it seems like he strictly refuses to shoot a single frame that he wouldn't be proud to display on a wall like its own piece of art--and generating a grounded connection to his characters is, at best, a secondary concern.

The film makers really missed what was powerful about the book that this was based on. The book was about the entire experience of the war, and not just the actual time in conflict. Some of the most powerful moments of the book were summed up at the end. The characters all became flat, stale, stereotypes. Still interesting to watch, just if you haven't read the book.

Jarhead is a good film when it's not trying to dazzle us with spectacle. When it gives us some depth to the characters and wants us to feel what it's like to be a soldier in the military taking part in any war, it works. When it wants to be an action film, it falls apart -- even if some of the characters don't even get to be involved in the action scenes. It fell apart near the end, although it still managed to be an enlightening piece that had some solid acting.

Unfortunately tonally uneven. Very chaotic and frenetic which makes it hard to get into the film. It also could've been shortened by about 15-25 minutes.

(2nd viewing) "Time in desert: 65 days, 19 hours, 15 minutes". You know a film takes itself seriously when they incorporate the hours and minutes. Gyllenhaal is completely miscast and excels in the art of overacting. It's also quite boring, but that's what happens when you present a factual examination of a boring experience. Some say that's the point but to them I say: watch "Three Kings". Since it does have some nice cinematography throughout (Deakings!), I'll file this one under "mixed bag".

Worthwhile war film with a decently original angle, even if it's not the most original war film with its direct references to far superior war films like Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket. The camaraderie between the troops is really the foundation of this film, and that works rather well for the most part. I wasn't a big fan of the uninspired soundtrack, though (apart from the Nirvana song they chose to play).

Honest. That is what I decided I would call this movie in. I love honesty as a person and this movie is honest, brutally honest. So honest that it can be riveting, so honest that it can be uncomfortable, so honest that it can be boring to someone. If you did sit in to watch a war movie, a literal war movie, this is not the best pick. This is about experience of a marine and his hardships, toils, friendship, fun, frustration, anger. There is no opinion about war, just humane, brutal storytelling.

Although it's not Mendes' best, it's still a solid movie. It excellently portrays the hyped-up military life, where nothing actually happens. It delves more into the psyches of the soldiers in service rather than the war itself, so people waiting for the bullets to fly will be disappointed. Some great cinematography towards the end is also noteworthy.

I should probably watch this movie again. Last time I saw it I was a fag and probably didn't appriecate it as much.

An insightful, visceral, take on modern warfare. I felt the characters' frustrations and loneliness. It has very obvious parallels with Full Metal Jacket, which I think is a good thing. As a spiritual sequel it succeeds in providing the same critical look, but at a 21st century conflict.

Wanted it to be deeper but the characters were more like caricatures.

Interesting in some areas, but the movie overall just fails to reach any new heights. I also felt little sympathy for the soldiers, as most of their problems seemed self inflicted, and to me, they came off as whiny.

Worth the watch for the "SIR, I GOT LOST ON THE WAY TO COLLEGE" line alone. Well, that and Jake in a sock.

An interesting analysis of the conflicting tedium and tension of combat. A good effort without acheiving the emotional depth or involvement of better crafted but not dissimilar earlier efforts such as Full Metal Jacket. Still worth a wach though. Gyllenhaal does well but still doesn't really get outside his comfort zone.

It wasn't awful, but nothing fucking happens the entire film! Seemed like it was building up to something, but it wasn't. Honestly don't know why they would call this film a comedy or an action film, because it fails in both regards. And it'd be nice to keep politics out of the movies for a while.

A war drama that show the effects boredom can have on one's sanity.

Do yourself a favor and watch Generation Kill. This is watchable only because of Deakins' cinematography, which is stellar, as usual.
