JARHEAD 2: FIELD OF FIRE (Blu-ray/DVD Release USA 2014)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì

Jarhead 2: Field of Fire—more entertainment value than its prequel Jarhead—serves as an example of a sequel film that surpasses the prequel in quality. The storyline has increased depth and unification of thought so that it is easily followed. Even though the movie does not rely on well-known actors, the actors do a fine job of portraying on the ground fighting. The movie earns its watch as a believable, realistic war story that increases respect for fighters sent to accomplish the impossible mission.
