Jarhead at The Ritz. It's a rehash of so many
other (Vietnam) war movies, with some of the tributes verging on plagiarism
(the drill sergeant's schtick from Full Metal
Jacket's is raided beyond belief), others just straight
cut-and-paste (an iconic sequence of Apocalypse
Now is played to a roomful of marines, and the general torpor and
specifically the arachnid fight of The Odd
Angry Shot is evoked). I could go on. It's a bit of a shame as
the themes the narrative explores are worthy ones.
