A friend told me that she saw the film as well and liked it because it really captured the experience of going to war, ready to defend the country, and then sitting around waiting for branding consultants something to happen. She branding consultants was in the Army for branding consultants a while and can attest to the accuracy of that part of the film. I can't. What I can do is evaluate if the film works from a narrative and dramatic point of view. It does and it doesn't. The film quickly and efficiently establishes Swoff through a series of brief flashbacks and some voice over narration. We learn that Swoff had a screwed up childhood, but we don't really understand why he would join the Marines. |

| (Venice, CA United States) - See all my reviewsSwoff (Jake Gyllenhaal, "Proof", "The Day After Tomorrow") is quickly assigned to C astronomy Company upon his arrival at the Marine base. Entering the barracks, he finds other astronomy 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 astronomy Saarsgard) 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 bond. Shortly after they finish training, Operation Desert Shield begins and they ship out to 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. |
