SunnyHello Nice effects though.

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

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

Michael Ledo This film doesn't seem to be connected to the other two and I don't believe they even used the disparaging term "Jarhead." Evan Albright (Charlie Weber) a lone wolf hero type, is assigned a gravy job at a US embassy in an unnamed Middle East country that has ISIS up north. In the first 30 minutes Albright (what's in a name) learns there is no "I" in team, the blond security agent (Sasha Jackson) that comes on to him, doesn't date marines; the ambassador (Stephen Hogan) doesn't have a personality; and his boss Gunny Raines (Scott Adkins) is a stickler to the chain of command. Albright believes an attack is imminent and no one believes him. At about 30 minutes into the film, it hits the fan and the gun fire doesn't let up until the end of the film.This was a fairly formula film with limited unimportant twists. Dennis Haysbert plays a major in this film, a demotion from his normal general or colonel rank. The film takes time to let us know the characters before the over blown shoot out occurs. The film also tosses in some preachy lines of "us vs them" that were a bit corny, but has appeal to those attracted to this type of action film. Albright messes up in one scene and does his Richard Gere " An Officer and a Gentleman " breakdown impersonation, repeating much of the same lines... "I got no where else to go." Groan. Seriously Chad? Those were the best lines you could come up with?However looking beyond the film's short comings, it was a high action, heart pumping thriller with characters.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

smilegel I really enjoyed it. I wanted action with some back up story and acceptable acting. I got that and more. Acting was pretty good, with some good actors. A ton of nonstop action and a good story and kept me on the edge. I think some wanna-be soldiers expected absolute perfection and that just does not exist.Action 10/10. Directing: 7/10. Acting: 7/10. Script: 7:10.Would like to watch more movies like this.--- I got nothing else to add. Just watch the movie! Never understood all the amateurs whose reviews consist of "trailer" type scenario. Why?! If I wanted to know more about the movie, I can watch the trailer and not read it!

Arch Stanton I managed to watch the whole movie without too many guffaws. But there were some. Gotta love the beginning with the Marine Corps "boot camp" montage to show the lead character going through his paces so that later we have the backstory that he's a bonafide jarhead and ready to lock and load. Upon arrival at "The Kingdom" Corporal Jarhead is picked up at the airport by a soon to be best buddy jarhead. Who just happens to let his British accent slip out a little too much. After Cpl Jarhead gets introduced to his company of other jarheads he then gets to meet Adkins, another Brit passing off as an American jarhead. I knew going in that if you're gonna see Adkins in a flick, be prepared for a C-list presentation. Its not that he's a bad actor. Its just that he's not really a good one. So, more obligatory scenes of Cpl Jarhead trying to familiarize himself with his duties, a little sexual tension with the cute little blonde "secretary", who we later realize is really a CIA covert operative, albeit a British one (she's a Brit too and her accent can be noticed). Then comes Cpl Jarhead's revelation that the embassy is being cased by an ISIS lunatic but nobody believes him. So you know what that means right? Yep, 5 minutes later the dude who Cpl Jarhead is onto leads an all out assault and siege on the embassy. From this point on its just one long firefight until the end. Bullets flying, RPGs launching, bodies dropping, snipers sniping, etc. etc. The one major drawback, and this has been mentioned by other reviews and I'm in total agreement with them, is that the douchebag Filipino-American really is horrible. The inclusion of that character almost ruins the film. Anyhow, it comes down to a last-stand situation with the cavalry trying to get there to save them. The cavalry arrives but right as Cpl Jarhead ignites a propane tank to blow to smithereens the head ISIS douchebag. Hoo-Rah! USA! USA! USA!

pandalarve This movie was bad on so many levels.1. unrealistic, the "freedom fighters standing in mid open places, with 5 guns pointing and hooting at them and they don't get hit, after like 100 bullets go past them, and if they had missed at least they would hit the people behind with how center clustered they stood. as well as standing in the middle of a hallway, no cover. not hit once, not before you give the "guy we don't trust" a gun to prove himself, then they drop like flies.2. When the movie uses the name jar head 3... claiming to be a sort of sequel down the genre.. At least follow the premise from the other movies. Jarhead 1, damn good movie, you follow the protagonist, you get to experience what he feels and how he perceived things, you are in the story, good job! Jarhead 2. Little worse than the first but stile decent enough for entertainment, it follows somewhat the lines of the original.. then you got this thing.... Just going thru all the action movie stereotypes, just as if the director had a list in front of him that he had to check every box on as he made the movie... At least the two first movies tried to be realistic, opposed to just pure classical action movie setup, that no one wants anymore.3. The comic relief, the douche bag, and the black hype up guy, and the annoying guy who are useless... WHY ALL THESE STEREOTYPES? seems like the director, just check every box again... 4. The literal second the last guys die... the rescue comes in, nonchalantly, not even trying to secure the area in case more enemies comes in... I mean, if the rescuers, were so close, that the second the propane tank had exploded and the dust settled, they could walk in... then one would expect they were within firring range to help shoot right? or at least lob a grenade.... So poorly made, in terms of realism.5.the plot was weak...
