The underrated 2005 war film Jarhead has already received three straight-to-video sequels, but which movie in the action franchise is the best?
Starting with the underrated original released in 2005, the Jarhead war movie franchise has received three straight-to-video sequels, and some are better than others. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Sam Mendes, the first Jarhead follows the real-life account of Anthony Swofford as he serves in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Persian Gulf War in the early 1990s.
Aside from bearing the recognizable Jarhead moniker, none of the sequels continue the story from the original, and all of the movies are disconnected from one another. As such, the low-budget follow-ups have largely flown under the radar or attracted a different audience than the more psychological original. Jarhead is one of the most accurate war movies, but the themes it explores are slowly dropped as the sequels focus on upping the action ante with each new installment.
3 Jarhead: Law Of Return Though Jarhead: Law of Return is anything but magnificent, it takes storytelling risks that the third movie doesn't and introduces new elements to the franchise that hadn't been seen previously. Major Ronan is a fighter pilot of the Israeli Defense Force and the son of a U.S. Senator who is shot down over Syria while flying a mission.
2 Jarhead 2: Field Of Fire Almost 10 years after the release of the original, Jarhead 2: Field of Fire rebooted the series as an action franchise for better and worse. A platoon of Marines is tasked with escorting an important anti-Taliban activist across war-torn Afghanistan in hopes of creating lasting peace. The against-all-odds mission of the movie is somewhat standard, but the performances from cast members like Cole Hauser and Esai Morales are a cut above the usual straight-to-video fare.
1 Jarhead Led by Jake Gyllenhaal, Jarhead is a thoughtful exploration of the mind of a real soldier as he experiences life in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Persian Gulf War. While the movie grossed $97 million it was considered a box office disappointment. However, critics were much kinder to the film , praising the performances and realistic approach to war.
