What did /tv/ think of Jarhead? I thought it was quite well received

I'd rather watch Generation Kill.

I need to watch it again. When I first saw it I went into it expecting a typical war movie, began to resent it, then by the end of it I was fascinated by the physiological stuff it delved into. Probably would be able to appreciate what it was going for a lot more now.

It was fine. The tension was good without there being actual intense battle or loss. You expected it and it never really came, which was a good thing. One thing I never understood though was the guy that got killed in basic training by a live round. I think he lifted his head and was shot while crawling through barbed wire? Anyway, they don't fucking do that. Why was that in the movie.
