Jarhead
Just saw Jarhead. I thought it was so-so. It lacked a coherent theme and and didnt't have much of a message behind it. The story is mainly about the phychological effect of being a solder, waiting for war. Although there are many ideas in the film it feels like the director doesnt have the guts to take a firm stand on any of them. The plotline is also very, very anti-climactic. Some would say that this was the idea, but frankly if I go to see a film I want it to be intresting and this film's protagonist is rather dull despite a great performance by Jake Gyllenhaal.
Not worth the price of admission in my opinion.
