   Is Jarhead a good movie?

   • This adaptation of a memoir is a smart and beautifully shot -- if bleak -- war movie with very little conventional "war" in it. Jarhead focuses on the ways that authorities rationalize war "scenarios" and train troops to carry out orders that are, on their face, irrational and costly.

   What makes Jarhead unique?

   • That alone makes Jarhead unique. The spark is the source material, a memoir by Swofford who was twenty and full of piss and vinegar when he enlisted in the Marines in the summer of 1990 and shipped out to the deserts of Saudi Arabia.
