Honestly, I expected much more. The reviews were not great, but I still held hope. The reviews weren't great for "Road to Perdition," either (another Sam Mendes film), but that is one of my all-time favorites.
Jarhead has a lot of really great scenes, but none of it adds up to anything other than "Iraq was boring and all I wanted to do was shoot some guns and get home to my girl." Been there, done that. I would only recommend this film to serious Jake Gyllenhaal crushers. His ass is on full display many times.
Side note: Peter Sarsgaard cannot turn in a bad performance. This guy has the goods.
