"Welcome to the suck." (Jarhead trailer)

Been looking forward to this for a while, I love Sam Mendes movies, especially American Beauty and Road to Perdition. Its got Jake and Foxx, ya can't go wrong. Trailer looks awesome too.

Especially those two?

Those are the only two movies he has made.
 
I hope the movie does the book justice. The book is incredible, a must-read if you're into the genre. I have hope though, Sam Mendes is one of my favorite directors.
 
All that and its got the president from 24 in it...gotta be good lol
 
Wow, looks really good. Never heard of this until now.
 
Looks good, but could someone fill me in. What's it about?
(other than Desert Storm)
 
IMDB:
Jarhead (the self-imposed moniker of the Marines) follows "Swoff" (Gyllenhaal), a third-generation enlistee, from a sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, sporting a sniper's rifle and a hundred-pound ruck on his back through Middle East deserts with no cover from intolerable heat or from Iraqi soldiers, always potentially just over the next horizon. Swoff and his fellow Marines sustain themselves with sardonic humanity and wicked comedy on blazing desert fields in a country they don't understand against an enemy they can't see for a cause they don't fully fathom... Foxx portrays Sergeant Sykes, a Marine lifer who heads up Swofford's scout/sniper platoon, while Sarsgaard is Swoff's friend and mentor, Troy, a die-hard member of STA-their elite Marine Unit.

yuk yuk yuk
 
:naughty: I've been waiting for another war movie like this!

Quick question... would if you're a left handed shooter and decide to join the military? I ask this because in the preview there's a line of soldiers walking, all right handed shooters.
 
:dozey: After wtaching that trailer, I played some BF:2. I got my basic spec-ops something award... LoLz.

it's a bout a marine, who was actually a pretty shitty guy, i mean, he even talks about it himself in his book, he seriouslyu thought about killing himself and another soldier and didn;t really see combat, so don;t expect much in the movie, though i'm sure they'll put some in there just for hollywood

i'll watch it, but i'd take it with a grain of salt if you're looking for something realistic
