Synopsis: Jarhead (2005)

"Jarhead" (the self-imposed moniker of the Marines) follows Anthony Swoff, a third-generation enlistee, from a sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, sporting a sniper's rifle and a hundred-pound ruck on his back through Middle East deserts with no cover from intolerable heat or from Iraqi soldiers, always potentially just over the next horizon.

"Jarhead" (the self-imposed moniker of the Marines) follows Anthony Swoff, a third-generation enlistee, from a sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, sporting a sniper's rifle and a hundred-pound ruck on his back through Middle East deserts with no cover from intolerable heat or from Iraqi soldiers, always potentially just over the next horizon. Swoff and his fellow Marines sustain themselves with sardonic humanity and wicked comedy on blazing desert fields in a country they don't understand against an enemy they can't see for a cause they don't fully fathom.

    Don't Waste Your Money

    By Rebecca  Jun 28, 2006

    Pros: Ummmmm...................
    ...................

    Cons: The movie

    It took about an hour and a half to even get into any action in the movie. The entire movie was slow and not much was going on. It's more like watching someone's everyday life. Of course, it's about a Marine, but it mostly reminded me of ...my ex-husband (who is a marine by the way) and his immaturity, hostile attitude, and overall GOD syndrome. I absolutely hated this movie. That's why I'm not married to him anymore. The only difference is that I didn't cheat on him, it was the other way around. Most Marines aren't as committed to their significant other as they portray in the movie. Read more Less

    Jarhead-one man's perspective

    By Missy Van Eaton  Mar 29, 2006

    Pros: Not a lot of fluff

    Cons: none

    I enjoyed the movie tremendously. When I saw the promos for Jarhead, I was "excited" to see a Desert Shield/Storm era movie on the horizon. I got rattled when there was an avalanche of bad reviews surrounding it. I soon found a letter in th...e Army Times written by Mr. Swofford addressing the negative and accusational comments. He simply wanted to give an account of his military service. I think Hollywood has cranked out too much unrealistic crap and shellshocked us with unbelievable graphics to the point that everything has to be gory or sensational. I had to laugh at much of the boot camp scenario. My hubby served 6 years in the Corps, nearly just after graduating from high school. His mom told me how he returned from boot camp shouting with excessive use of the "F" word. I appreciate Mr. Swoffords willingness to share his time in the Corps as well as his part in Desert Shield/Storm. Read more Less
