I picked up the DVD for Jarhead the other day, and throughly enjoyed it. There were a few parts that were a bit extreme, but overall it was a very intense, well made movie. It makes anyone who watches it NEVER want to be a Marine (as long as you’re sane), heh. Jake Gyllenhaal is a fairly unknown actor (to me at least) who does an absolutely phenomenal performance, especially when paired with Jamie Foxx. I’d be curious to hear from an actual Marine how accurate this movie is, but from my perspective, it looks very realistic (or at least the studio did a good job with it).

And on that note, some links.
