An eye-opening experience....[Mendes] forges, perhaps, a new kind of drama: a portrait of war stripped of all glamour and design.... JARHEAD is an existential docudrama: cool and funny, vivid and remote at the same time

Half Full or Empty Jar?
Starting off with a poor imitation of Full Metal Jacket's opening scene didn't bode well for the rest of Jarhead. Despite the obvious parallels the film... read more »

Sarsgaard admits he punched Gyllenhaal "as hard as he could in the windpipe" during a bout of "macho crap", intensified by their real life relationship - Sarsgaard is married to Gyllenhaal's sister Maggie. The fight took place during a scene that required a mob of soldiers, including Gyllenhaal, to brand Sarsgaard's character. Sarsgaard was... Read more
