Lite blandade omdömen, men som dig funderar jag hur den togs emot av den stora "massan"
Till och med filmkritikerna verkar omtumlade. Lite konstigt att man kan skriva spaltmeter om tex Apocalypse Now, som verkligen kan vara förvirrande på sina ställen, men så långt jag funnit inte hittat nån som till fullo förstår intentionerna med denna film..

After staring at my blinking cursor for the better part of the last hour and receiving a lovely missive from a reader asking, “Where the fuck is the Jarhead review?” I’m afraid I’m no closer to synthesizing what I want — or need — to say about Sam Mendes’ follow up to American Beauty and The Road to Perdition than I was after I walked out of the screening. It’s a difficult film to write about, mostly because it seems to say so much, without actually saying anything at all. It’s intentionally anti-message, which is perhaps the loudest message it could send, leaving us to figure out what the fuck Mendes meant by shoving a nonentity into a nothing war in which so very little happened.

Director Sam Mendes hits a visual homerun with “Jarhead”. His carefully composed and brilliantly color-timed images of the Marines illuminated only by the burning oil fields of Kuwait are some of the most incredibly striking of the year. This sequence alone is reason enough to see this film on the big screen, but Mendes’ heavy-handed symbolism gets a bit long in the tooth at times. Overall, of the director’s three big screen efforts thus far, this may place second, in between the excellent “Road to Perdition” and the over-rated and often-contrived “American Beauty”. As I walked out of “Jarhead”, I was admittedly uncertain of what I thought of it, but the fact that I’m still pondering it, to some degree, days later does indeed bode well for it.
