Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

SnoopyStyle Marine Corporal Chris Merrimette reluctantly takes a promotion from Major James Gavins (Stephen Lang) as the new leader of his supply squad after his sergeant gets killed by the Taliban. He is eager to return to his wife. His unit consists of Corporal Danny Kettner (Bokeem Woodbine), Lance Corporal Dani Allen, Private Rafael Soto, and Private Justin Li. Afghan Army Private Khalid Hassan Abu Faisal joins them on a resupply mission to a dangerous outpost. They are retasked when they pick up a SEAL team trying to evacuate an anti-Taliban activist.The interesting thing about the first Jarhead is that the guy struggled with a war which doesn't need him. This is almost an opposite premise. Chris can't wait to get out of the war that desperately needs him. I'm fine with a completely new premise for a completely new war. There is plenty of gunfire action which is more than what I expect from a TV movie. The realism is debatable and that's no small thing. I really question Kettner pulling Faisal off the garbage pile. It would be more real to run away and let the new Arab take the bomb blast if that's what he wants. That conflict between realistic and unrealistic never goes away. I'm sure others have different ideas. The kill ratio seems high. Several times, the guys wipe out the entire opposition. The final rescue mission seems unrealistic. I don't know why they didn't at least try the Taliban's trucks. The realism questioning goes on and on. It's not Rambo but it's not that far from it. Some of the masked Taliban fighters look white. At least, the setting looks good.

Raphael Motta *May contain spoilers*Well, the acting was bad, the props were all around wrong and not true to facts, very cheesy and wouldn't recommend it. I think the story could have been better put together, it had potential but I didn't feel much emotion in the "emotional" scenes, overall shallow characters, inaccurate props and just not very good.Pros They explore some political aspects of the war on terror and show how pointless killing leads to nothing and true heroes are those who have the courage to do challenge the tyrants and do simple things like study.The movie doesn't portrait the marines or seals as some kind of immortal superheroes, they are shown as just humans with a tough jobWomman in the military are shown, this is great for visibility and so womman get more space in societyConsReally bad acting Outstandinly inaccurate props Cheesy dialog It doesn't make the viewer care too much about the characters, they don't feel tri-dimensional, just too plain. Overall just wasted potential and military propaganda Just another enlistment movie.

Mmentzer1991 I was reluctant to buy this after owning the first "Jarhead" which I was highly disappointed in basically 2 hrs of b.s. But this film although not really a sequel was actually pretty good if your a huge war movie buff or an ex marine, as I am both I definitely recommend it; lots of action (unlike the first one) and a pretty decent storyline. When I seen it on the shelf at Wal mart I was reluctant to buy it being that I never heard of it coming out and because I HATE B grade movies, especially involving war so I looked it up on IMDb as I often do and since it had a decent rating I chose to gamble on it and was definitely not let down. I feel my money was well spent for sure not some B grade movie crap Like I was afraid of. So in conclusion if your a war movie fan try it out.

ultramoviemad As one who has never served in the field of fire - I've always had the greatest respect for those who have. I don't think anyone can imagine the absolute horror when involved in close combat where blood is spilled and close comrades die. With Jarhead 2 I remained fully focused throughout.The plot is surely influenced by the events of the current time surrounding the real life story of Malala Yousafzai,shot by the Taliban for her outspoken thoughts on womens rights in Afghanistan.I felt a real passion for the marine characters in the movie - dedicated to each other and their evolving mission.One of the ending scenes between the marine & Afghan fighter fighting dying in a hail of bullets was somewhat reminiscent of Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid…By enlarge a very enjoyable movie..
