Jarhead
Gritty Gulf War drama. Anthony Swofford becomes a Marine sniper and is sent to Saudi Arabia to wait for action. But war does not look the way he expects it to.
Powerful, fact-based drama. It's 1989, and Anthony Swofford joining the US Marine Corps was probably a mistake, but he becomes a scout-sniper and is mobilised to Saudi Arabia during the prelude to Desert Storm. In the desert he and his squad find themselves going stir crazy as the tension builds unbearably.
