Jarhead: Law of Return

The problem with this movie isn't so much the acting, though there are some cringe-inducing moments (but I've seen far worse)...I am convinced the main problem with 'Jarhead: Law of Return' is the writing and directing. The acting was decent with the absolutely ghastly dialogue and development scenes they were forced into. The scene where we are introduced to the pilot, "Major Ronan Jackson", through pre-flight banter with his WSO, is not only unnecessary, but extremely unlikely. There are many moments just like this throughout the film. Any attempt to familiarize us with the characters failed and there wasn't a single character that the directors were successful in connecting it's audience to. It's clear to me that the main goal here was not to write a thought provoking film, as the first 'Jarhead' was, or even a cohesive action movie, which there are too many excellent examples to list as comparisons ... no, the purpose here was the main theme of the film: anti-Iranian, pro-Western propaganda. I understand that most war movie contain pro-west war propaganda, but this was blatantly spoon-fed to the viewer in large doses. When it's this obvious you are prepping viewers for your anti-Iranian brainwashing leading into 2020, it's obnoxious. Other reviewers already mentioned the offensively obvious military inaccuracies, so I won't go into too many details except to mention the scene in the military jets were completely unrealistic with respect to the dialogue. There wasn't a single bit of accurate pilot lingo. Again, the very basic research that is usually done by writers is completely absent from this film. To make this slow-rolling turd even worse, the ending was anti-climactic, and again contained "the enemy is still out there" propaganda. Any reviewer that rates this higher than a 5 cannot be trusted with movie recommendations. And please, don't even try to tell me that this is better than the first 'Jarhead'. I'm being generous with a 3/10 rating. Won't watch ever again.

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.

Since when does a 4 star General wear Gunnery Sergeant stripes on his arm?

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.

Whomever (if anyone) was hired as military adviser should be hung by his heels. I am not going to list all the military screw ups as there is no time.
