I saw this movie last week and it’s easily the best film I’ve seen in a long time. Personally I can’t understand the criticism of Jarhead with most critics pointing out that it is drawn out and boring. Eh…that’s the point!
I’d sum it up as the first half of Full Metal Jacket (minus the bit where they actually go to Vietnam) for Generation X. Jake Gyllenhaal (thank God I’m typing that and not trying to pronounce it!) is Jon Heder with acting talent. Jamie Foxx showed why he won the Oscar last year. There is also a great cast of misfits that will keep you happily amused whilst striking an amazing contrast with some scenes which really highlight how strange Desert Storm must have been.
A definite DVD purchase, go see this film while it’s still in your local cinema if even to find out what ‘Filth Fun!’ is
