Jarhead (2005)

Synopsis: Swoff has enlisted in the Marines but is not cut out for military life. He participates in the Gulf War.
Appraisal: I don't have much to say about this movie. It is interesting, shows realistic details about a recent war, has some moderately funny moments; it is not a great movie, it's not strong enough, either because some of the situations depicted are somewhat banal or have been shown in too many previous movies or because the characters were not sufficiently fleshed out. In any case, it's a decent watch.
