Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
What's so good about the movie is Gyllenhaal's refusal to show off; he doesn't seem jealous of the camera's attention when it goes to others and is content, for long stretches, to serve simply as a prism though which other young men can be observed.

fresh:
This is a very strong film with really good performances.
– Richard Roeper,
Ebert & Roeper,
7 Nov 2005
rotten:
Screenwriter William Broyles, Jr., a former Vietnam pilot and Newsweek editor, connects reasonably well with the material, but American Beauty director Sam Mendes has a tendency to smooth out the rough edges, and the film goes flat as month-old soda.
– Scott Tobias,

6 Dec 2005
fresh:
Jarhead is utterly predictable (boys endure tough training; boys encounter another culture and are baffled), studded with first-rate performances.
– Ken Tucker,
New York Magazine/Vulture,
9 Dec 2005
fresh:
The film's strong suit is vagueness, presenting combat as a semi-surreal state of ignorant expectation and dislocated experience: these warriors loll in the desert awaiting action or trying to make sense of its consequences.
