I just saw 'Jar Head' today. It was ....rough, explicit. It should have been rated something worse than 'R'. Wouldn't recommend it.
It is a movie about the Marines in the Gulf War of 1991.
Not an uplifting film. Very dark.

Oh, as a story it was excellent. And all that training and never to get to fire his rifle in anger
Mendes came out and said it was anti-war so maybe I watched it with some preconceptions because of that. I guess that's the problem with publicising a movie. I'll watch it again soon - I always watch movies more than once - and see how I feel then.
