All I know is I wanted to see Jarhead because the trailers made it look like a cool war movie that would have some good shootouts, and I was sadly disappointed. It was drama drama drama Apocalypse Now clips oh hey sand don't leave me you hung up let me snipe this guy no okay wars over shoot the sky roll credits. It did cover the short lived Gulf War, and one guy in said war, so it made sense that it was what it was and not some cool shoot shit film. Still they marketed the hell out of it, and then you see the movie and find out the action packed trailer holds all of the action in the entire movie.
I guess it was good for what it was, but not what Hollywood made it out to be.
