they were two young rich guys that were bored and had nothing to do except try and prove how smart they were, by attempting to perform the perfect murder...not much in there to be having any warm fuzzies about. i cant really see any young actors taking on those roles if they hope to have a larger fanbase..i know that is what jake and heath are doing now..while at the same time taking on different types of roles...i know that jake is famous, as is heath at varying their roles, i dont see the benefiit of doing a role about a guy with no redeaming core..possibly so but i wouldnt advise it.could happen but i just cant see it

Actors such as Jake and Heath wouldn't do such movies to raise their fanbase if they are true artists. They'd do something like this to expand their repetoire and stretch their talents. After all, actors don't always make movies about likeable people. I very much enjoyed and recommend the movie 'Max'. You really feel for young Hitler in that one.

And I'm not talking about the Santa dance, as enjoyable as that was to watch both times. :) I'm talking about the Roger Deakins cinematography that haunts you, and the poetic screenplay that haunts you, too, with lines like "The Earth is bleeding" and "We are still in the desert." Really a beautiful film. And I thought Peter Sarsgaard was excellent - perhaps the best I've seen him, though I quite liked him in "Shattered Glass" too. Like Jake, so subtle, and so facially expressive.
I also liked how they went against stereotype - how the seemingly redneck Texan turned out to be the bleeding heart liberal (relatively speaking) and how the quiet, thoughtful guy ended up being more pro-war than just about anyone.
The music was great, too, and totally took me back to that time frame, so I imagine it would really resonate with anyone going through something remotely as traumatic as being on the ground in a war, whether anything really happened or not, at that time.

i totally agree with your assesment of jarhead...jake and peter were unsurpassed...the multifaceted, directions that the men had to take in that movie was amazing..it was a particularly excellent cast, jamie farr and all the other guys were awsome..i too loved the look of the picture..the fires and the horse, the burn outs etc..the cinematography was a thing to behold...i know that this was not a nice movie, but it was a great movie...
