OscarÆ winnaar JAMIE FOXX (Ray) en JAKE GYLLENHAAL ('Donnie Darko', 'Brokeback Mountain') spelen prachtrollen in dit portret van een groep jonge soldaten gelegerd in de troosteloze woestijn van Irak. Van de met OscarÆ bekroonde regisseur van 'American Beauty'. Jarhead is een heftig verhaal. Schrijnend maar eerlijk verteld, met spectaculaire cinematografie.
In JARHEAD volgen we soldaat Swoff (Gyllenhaal), die na een ontnuchterende periode in een Amerikaans opleidingskamp deelneemt aan een uitzending naar het Midden-Oosten. Als scherpschutter trekt hij door de ondraaglijke hitte, strijdend tegen Iraakse soldaten door de woestijn. Keihard, confronterend en zinloos.
