Jarhead Review (DVD)


Jarhead was pretty much what I expected. The movie seemed realistic at times and way too Hollywood at times. Jake Gyllenhaal was surprisingly good in this movie. This is the first time I've seen him do a character like the Marine he plays in Jarhead. Jamie Foxx was pretty good as usual and Sarsgaard should keep getting new roles. The book was written by a real-life Marine so the mental aspect of being a soldier seemed to be accurate in Jarhead. Because this was the first movie I had seen about Desert Storm, the movie held my interest. Overall its a decent movie, but it is nothing spectacular.

Jarhead = Decent Rental
