stergiosxarisoulis its a masterpiece i mean since knack 2 is magnificent and my wife left me i cant see my kids anymore but my dad is still with me until i pull the plug.however the music the effects and the Oscar winning performance of the hottest leading actors of our generation in conclusion watch that my dude.

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!

BasicLogic I often wondered why some actually not bad or even serious movies would insert a totally unnecessary cast, a comic-relief like jerk in the screenplays to completely ridicule and ruin them. The worst outcome is putting such clown figures in an action movie. We had seen Bruce Lee's martial art Kung-Fu movies stupidly arranged such totally unnecessary and inappropriate role and degenerated those supposedly suspenseful action movies into not quite serious enough ones. This "Jarhed 3" was another victim by such stupid arrangement in its screenplay, allowing a totally unnecessary character, Blake, played by the annoying Filipino American, Dante Basco, to mess up with and almost ruined it soon as this jerk-like guy holding a camcorder, appeared on the screen.I am not so sure about the connections between the screenplay writer(s), the director, or even the executive producer(s) with Dante Basco, but one thing I could definitely assure is this sore-thumb like character completely torpedoed this, by general standard, not too bad, albeit quite serious action TV movie. Of course, there are many flaws and loopholes inherited from the screenplay's scenario and plot, but except this jerk-like stand-alone Blake character, all the other players did their jobs quite seriously. The clown character in a serious U.S. Embassy is not just possible but unthinkable, that stupid arrangement simply and totally ruined the believability of this movie, even there were many settings, furniture, bullet-proof windows and glasses were so vividly and realistically destroyed.The Chinese got an old saying to describe such inappropriate careless arrangement that doomed the outcome: "A whole well-prepared pot of porridge is ruin by just one piece of small rat dropping", Blake/Dante Basco, is indeed that piece of rat dropping.
