Yeah, the whole movie, to me, was about how much it sucks being a marine, even when you don't have to fight. So its like, being a marine is either "shitty" or "fucking shitty".

Did anyone like this more than American Beauty? Personally, American Beauty is a movie I've seen probly at least 20 times. I don't think Jarhead will have that kind of staying power at all.

But then again I really hate war movies. The only reason I saw this one was because of the director.
pschumach Reviewed by pschumach on . Jarhead Has anyone seen Jarhead yet? It's a pretty good flick, from the same guy who did American Beauty. It shows the what the troops had to go through in Operation Desert Storm. The movie kinda leans towards the idea that Desert Storm's main cause was for oil..... But other than a slight agenda they push it was a great flick. Way better than 3 Kings. "I got lost on the way to college Sir!" Rating: 5
