"Jarhead" | Um filme de guerra sem guerra

crítica Variety

"Jarhead"/"Máquina Zero" estreia-se na próxima semana nas salas portuguesas. De Sam Mendes ("Beleza Americana"), conta com Jake Gyllenhaal, um dos actores da nova geração Hollywood, no principal papel e traz-nos a história de uma guerra que nunca foi realmente uma guerra.

Jarhead

By TODD MCCARTHY

"Are we ever going to get to kill anyone?," a young Marine asks after waiting for months in the Arabian desert for the Persian Gulf war to begin. The negative answer for him and his pumped-up fellow grunts who get sent home without seeing any real action makes "Jarhead" a different kind of antiwar film -- a war film without a war. Part absurdist drama, part personal observational commentary and part hormonal explosion, all seen through the filter of previous war pics, Sam Mendes' third feature has numerous arresting moments but never achieves a confident, consistent or sufficiently audacious tone. Quasi-topical release pushes enough buttons to make this a solid B.O. performer for Universal with review-conscious and young auds alike.
