Not your typical war movie...Review created: 05/21/06

Between the very catchy song, Kanye West's Jesus Walks and the "Hoorahs",you may have thought Jarhead would be a hard-driving blood and guts war movie. It's anything but. While there is some graphic violence, this is much more of a character piece. Director, Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) bring his moody sensibilty to a htoughtful and compelling movie.
Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain, Donnie Darko) is excellent as a young man finding out what it really means to be a modern day marine. The screenplay is based on Anthony Swafford's best-selling book about his experiences in Iraq and Kuwait.
This is a very good film, but it's slow development and thoughtful pacing may not be for everyone.
