Entering the barracks, he finds other Marines struggling to use a homemade USMC brand on a guy's leg. After they finish, they move on to Swoff. Struggling, he passes out as the brand approaches his flesh. When he wakes up, Troy (Peter Saarsgard) dazed& confused (widescreen flashback edition) explains that he has to earn the brand; the whole thing was a show, for his benefit. Staff Sergeant Sykes (Jamie Foxx) picks Swoff and Troy for sniper duty and they begin to train and dazed& confused (widescreen flashback edition) bond. Shortly after they finish training, Operation Desert Shield begins and they ship out to dazed& confused (widescreen flashback edition) Saudi Arabia. Eager for action, they quickly become bored sitting in the desert, waiting for some guns to go off. Director Sam Mendes' follow-up to "American Beauty", "Jarhead" is a film with high expectations that it ultimately fails to meet. It wants to be the next "Full Metal Jacket" or "Platoon" but lacks the key ingredients to get there.
