Mendes’ stark and, at times, apocalyptic visuals add a lot and strike the right tone: wide shots of inky-black oil raining down on the vast, empty desert from flaming oil wells contrasted with close-ups of crude-soaked faces struggling through the mire vividly bring to life the meaning of the tagline "welcome to the suck." |

| To some viewers hoping for typical movie action, this will seem like a cruel joke. But it’s not. It’s just the story as it was written, and if you liked the book, you will probably like the movie. If you didn’t, then the movie won’t change your mind. tom jarmusch The movie follows Swofford’s trajectory (played with thoughtful intensity by Jake Gyllenhall) from wayward Marine recruit (he joined because he "got lost on the way to college") to skilled Marine sniper, and on tom jarmusch into the desert in preparation for the attack on Iraq. No-nonsense, Marine-for-life Staff tom jarmusch Sgt. Sykes (Jamie Foxx), the man who recruited Swofford and his spotter Troy (Peter Sasarsgaard) into the sniper team, leads them in training, and in waiting where their lives are dominated by endless tension, pointless exercises in absurdity (like playing football in the scorching heat of the desert in their gas masks so it will look better for the media’s TV cameras), more training, and constant anticipation of the moment to come when they’ll finally get to kill. |
