Jarhead

Jarhead: 5.5 out of 10.
"Jarhead" was marketed perfectly. Remember all those ads to the sound of Kanye West's "Jesus Walks"? They had you thinking about great war movies past; "Full Metal Jacket", "Apocalypse Now", "Three Kings". "Jarhead" could have been great. "Jarhead" should have been great.
Instead it's boring. It starts off okay, but then it gets stuck in a rut. It ends up making "Three Kings" feel like "Apocalypse Now". You'd expect a great deal better from the man who directed "American Beauty".
Welcome to the suck.
