Jarhead 2

I'm not a fan of the first "Jarhead" film, that was one of the most disappointing & boring "War" films I've ever seen & yes i got that was the point abit you know the frustrating part lol anyway that was crap but this by name only Sequel "Jarhead 2: Field of Fire" is better & its a low-budget DTV film!!!! The cast is good because here we have the great veteran STEPHEN LANG (Don't Breathe, VFW) who is the Major of the team of marines out in the dangerous death trap of Iraq & his presence is definitely needed to raise it up in quality & by his serious performance as the other youngsters are the typical loud, mouthy & trying-to-be-funny typical squad in these types of war action flicks except for when the excellent, underrated but great COLE HAUSER comes into the movie as a special forces soldier trying to transport an Iraq woman to safety, she's important & that's his mission out there. HAUSER is always a welcomed tough hero presence in anything, been a fan since Pitch Black & he's always a solid actor & steals the show in everything like for example "Tears of the Sun" he was better than Bruce Willis!!!! Anyway the guy is great & here he's the best character in the movie & gives the best performance. This is a typical mission behind enemy lines type of war action flick & it's done pretty well with a gritty look & plenty of action packed shootout scenes. I didn't like the typical "Country Music" & "Rap music" used at the beginning because it's so typical & boring now but the actual film was fairly decent even though it felt like so many I've seen & by the end it gets abit boring & it plays out exactly like you know it will but worth a watch but that's it & i only watched it became of Cole Hauser. The 3rd in the Jarhead franchise is easily the best "The Siege" that flick is Awesome!!!

This film is kaka. The writing, directing, editing and acting? in it are terrible. It couldn't even make the cut for Mystery Science Theater 3000. It contains every hackneyed phrase and stereotype of the Afghan war. After 30 minutes I didnt know any more about the characters in the film than I did in the first minute. I didnt even know their names. The script and the director make these mindless, action hero figures instead of real people and the process fails miserably. What a complete waste of time and money. Just like the real war.

When i was in the gulf war, we just had a M16 rifle, chewing gum and a very small toilet roll that incidentally had to last for our whole tour of duty. In this film there are lazer guns, romulan mind-melds an Alien from the planet xena-4 plus every soldier seems to quote " Beam me up scotty" before they get shot. If you want a good action movie go for Wind In The Willows part 2, or you could just watch a few episodes of star trek which may have the same effect on you. Basically don't watch this film. its no good, its akin to jumping around naked with a pineapple superglued to one of your feet. i watched it twice and dozed off several times and that was just during the opening credits. which took almost twenty minutes to get through as for the sound effects they were boring. hang on am i reviewing the right film? this is citizen kane is it not?.
