"Enjoyed this quite a lot."

"Good movie. Not a really gore or action filled move really focused more on the mindset of a soldier."

Paige H

"This movie moves the heart! Gives you insight to how a Marine feels and what they go through….it’ll bring you to tears, make you angry and even make you chuckle. It’s a must see and you’ll get an education at the same time. It’s an eye opener for sure…."

Terry Smith

"If you’re looking for action and war, this is not the movie for you. Jarhead is more focused on the soldiers and their mindset, and on what goes on in the camp before, during and after the war. It’s dark, gritty and moving. "

"Great movie, not for me"

Ashley Lowrance

"Haven't seen the sequels and flat out refuse to. This was a great movie the idea of sequels almost ruins it."

Rachel Green

"A timeless war movie for the X-Y-Z generation. Not focused on action or gore or brutality; just the mindset of your average 20'something soldier trying to stay alive and make sense of this fk'd up thing called war. I've seen this a handful of times over the years. Glad I watched it again before I canceled my Netflix subscription (f u netflix for your corporate greedineess)."
