Thin red line (if you can even call it a war movie) It has sean penn in it, so right off the bat you know its not going to be any good.

i read the book before i saw the movie (Jarhead) so i know what to expect. if you went in thinking it was gonna be a war movie, you were probably dissapointed.

It gave me a deeper respect for not only the physical, but the emotional trauma our armed forces are put through. But I was mislead by the trailers and thought it was gonna be a balls out war movie.

Yes the trailer is misleading, however prior to watching the movie as usual I did some research and found out what it was about before watching it ........ Since of course it was based off a book... We have a reserve who was out at the field 2 sunday's ago and he is a gulf war vet and an Iraqi freedom vet ( Marine ) ... He flat out told me that the jarhead was very close to his experience during the first gulf war... For those of us who have been in the military and or I guess law enforcement it lives up to the statement " Hurry up and wait ".
