Jarhead by Sam Mendes (2005, USA)



I liked this movie. A lot. Although it might not be a very original in tone, it's probably the only 'war movie' with no bullets fired, at least not during the action scenes. (though, I could be very wrong. war movie buffs, where are you?) There's close to no action, and it's all melodramatic, especially towards the ending. The soundtrack was great, and Jake Gyllenhaal and Jamie Foxx were great. I think there were a few references to FMJ too. It's pretty fun to watch, ironically.

4/5 stars
