Jarhead: Law of Return

To a Marine we hold our uniform regulations seriously. To not follow those regulations in the movie is a distraction from the story being told. Maybe the franchise should use senior enlisted marine veterans as the military advisors.

This exciting and nail-biting film contains loudy action, full of suspense, tension, crossfire, chases and adrenaline. Major Ronan Jackson (Devon Sawa), an accomplished fighter pilot and Israeli by Law of Return, and son of a U. S. Senator (Robert Patrick), is shot down and subsequently captured in Syria after an assignment. Miraculously surviving the crash, Jackson is taken captive by a group of Hezbollah militiamen. Jarhead: Law of Return follows a squad of elite Marine Raiders, led by Gunnery Sergeant Dave Torres (Amaury Nolasco), as they risk their own lives in the hope of saving an ally they've never met. While, the Hezbollah terrorist group decides to take him prisoner and serve as prey and ransom.

A gripping and powerful story packed with hard-hitting action, shootouts, nudism ,violence and many swearings and bad language. A bone-chilling and action-packed film about warlike feats in which a joint Israeli US squad's sent in to rescue Ronan within 36 hours. Not everything revolves around shooting and chases: the key is humanity, so the most dangerous thing is not the mission, it is the rescue and escape and that is what the character of Amaury Nolasco , who is the true protagonist of this intricate and fast-paced action thriller, is very clear about. There is also a description of the Middle East war with the Hezbolla militia supported by Iran, Lebanon and Syria and its fight against Israel for possession of the Golam Heights. Acceptable interpretations from Devon Sawa as Commander Ronan Jackson who's hunted while flying over the Syrian sky, Jeff Pierre as Sgt. Johnson, Yael Eitan as tough soldier israeli Neta, the decesed Ben Cross as USMC General Betz, Robert Patrick as the worried senator and special mention for Amaury Norlasco who's the main starring as two-fisted, and experienced sergeant who in compliance with his military duty will not stop at anything in order to fulfill his mission.

Why would a four star general be wearing a gunnery sergeant stripes on his arm?

This is movie has a boring plot, boring acting and is a big waste of time. I've seen lil' bits of "Black hawk down" in it. No Drones, no AC-130 . The director was lazy and he did not care even to see what military capabilities are in surveillance and gunships if not hire a consultant.

If you are a war movie fan this one will not disappoint. I have to laugh at all these reviews criticising the weapons or army stripes not being accurate - guys let me elucidate for you; your average viewer would not know a sergeant stripe from an a-wipe you have to laugh at these reviews.... really???? - ITS ONLY A MOVIE! Who watches a movie and looks out for things like that is bizarre! I watch a movie to be immersed int he plot and story not to see if sergeant Maloney has the correct trigger on his AK-47 or how tight his army troosers are cmon, to rate a movie on this is nonsense and IMDB should remove these reviews as they are just plain fatuous!

Well what do we get for our shillings - Oodles of action, some decent cgi blood splatters and explosions but some terrible dialogue which made me cringe at times. It actually has a pretty decent cast and the acting was good which makes up another Jarhead movie;and as good as Jarhead 2 in my opinion.

The music though is rather Jarring (pardon the pun) and too loud for the soundtrack and it is clear they were trying in the later stages to go for a Black Hawk Down style ethnic Israeli music backtrack to accompany the action which was better than the overbearing rap and rock & roll in the first half.

All in all its actually an above average terrorist war movie so if you are a war movie fanatic like me give it a try as it will not disappoint so gets a fair 6/10 from me.
