Spectacular and noisy film about an attack to USA Embassy. A group of marines must protect the American embassy located in the Middle East when it is besieged by enemy forces. The country is one of the most dangerous places in the world, and nations have pulled their diplomatic offices out of the country in fear of an attack by militants. Among them is Corporal Evan Albright (Charlie Weber) , a rootless young man who signed up to save the world and experience a bit of action. Embassy in a seemingly safe Middle Eastern capitol, relegates his unit to wrangling "gate groupies" protesting outside the compound and honing their marksmanship by playing video games. So Albright and his team are caught off guard when well-armed and well-trained militants launch a surprise attack aimed at killing an informant in the embassy. Heavily out-gunned, they will have to muster all the courage and firepower they can as their once routine assignment spirals into all-out war.
Conventional elements in the screenplay as heroism, comradeship, are based on a story devoid of sentimentality and balanced by a genuinely complex examination of courage in the field. This thrilling film contains noisy action, violence, shootouts and high body count. Precisely, 'action' is the key word of this film, the second sequel to 'Jarhead', the film released by Sam Mendes in 2005 that dealt with the Gulf War starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, Jamie Foxx . Little remains of the plot of the original film and only Dennis Haysbert (President Palmer in the series 24) reprises the role of Commander Lincoln. Of the rest of the casting, the names of television's Charlie Weber, Sasha Jackson, Dante Basco, Romeo Mille and special mention for Scott Adkins, a prolific actor in the action and fight genre, such as Expendables 2, One Shot, Debt Collectors or Bourne Unltimatum, stand out.
As a trivia, add that the plot is very similar to that of 13 hours: Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, this one was released commercially, while this Jarhead 3 went direct to DVD or television premiere. The motion picture was was routinely but professionally directed by William Kauffman. He's an expert on thrillers and action movies, such as: ¨The prodigy, The Hit List, Sinners and saints, One in the Chamber , The Marine 4: moving target, Daylight's end,
Warhorse One, Lazarat, The Channel , Metralla¨, among others.
