Jarhead 3: The Siege

This movie was bad on so many levels.

1. unrealistic, the "freedom fighters standing in mid open places, with 5 guns pointing and hooting at them and they don't get hit, after like 100 bullets go past them, and if they had missed at least they would hit the people behind with how center clustered they stood. as well as standing in the middle of a hallway, no cover. not hit once, not before you give the "guy we don't trust" a gun to prove himself, then they drop like flies.

2. When the movie uses the name jar head 3... claiming to be a sort of sequel down the genre.. At least follow the premise from the other movies. Jarhead 1, damn good movie, you follow the protagonist, you get to experience what he feels and how he perceived things, you are in the story, good job! Jarhead 2. Little worse than the first but stile decent enough for entertainment, it follows somewhat the lines of the original.. then you got this thing.... Just going thru all the action movie stereotypes, just as if the director had a list in front of him that he had to check every box on as he made the movie... At least the two first movies tried to be realistic, opposed to just pure classical action movie setup, that no one wants anymore.

3. The comic relief, the douche bag, and the black hype up guy, and the annoying guy who are useless... WHY ALL THESE STEREOTYPES? seems like the director, just check every box again...

4. The literal second the last guys die... the rescue comes in, nonchalantly, not even trying to secure the area in case more enemies comes in... I mean, if the rescuers, were so close, that the second the propane tank had exploded and the dust settled, they could walk in... then one would expect they were within firring range to help shoot right? or at least lob a grenade.... So poorly made, in terms of realism.

5.the plot was weak...

Even pistols fire fully automatic. Targets get hit, the walls behind them never get damaged. Just fun if you like fully automatic shooting, Rambo style.

Spectacular and noisy film about an attack to USA Embassy. A group of marines must protect the American embassy located in the Middle East when it is besieged by enemy forces. The country is one of the most dangerous places in the world, and nations have pulled their diplomatic offices out of the country in fear of an attack by militants. Among them is Corporal Evan Albright (Charlie Weber) , a rootless young man who signed up to save the world and experience a bit of action. Embassy in a seemingly safe Middle Eastern capitol, relegates his unit to wrangling "gate groupies" protesting outside the compound and honing their marksmanship by playing video games. So Albright and his team are caught off guard when well-armed and well-trained militants launch a surprise attack aimed at killing an informant in the embassy. Heavily out-gunned, they will have to muster all the courage and firepower they can as their once routine assignment spirals into all-out war.

Conventional elements in the screenplay as heroism, comradeship, are based on a story devoid of sentimentality and balanced by a genuinely complex examination of courage in the field. This thrilling film contains noisy action, violence, shootouts and high body count. Precisely, 'action' is the key word of this film, the second sequel to 'Jarhead', the film released by Sam Mendes in 2005 that dealt with the Gulf War starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, Jamie Foxx . Little remains of the plot of the original film and only Dennis Haysbert (President Palmer in the series 24) reprises the role of Commander Lincoln. Of the rest of the casting, the names of television's Charlie Weber, Sasha Jackson, Dante Basco, Romeo Mille and special mention for Scott Adkins, a prolific actor in the action and fight genre, such as Expendables 2, One Shot, Debt Collectors or Bourne Unltimatum, stand out.

As a trivia, add that the plot is very similar to that of 13 hours: Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, this one was released commercially, while this Jarhead 3 went direct to DVD or television premiere. The motion picture was was routinely but professionally directed by William Kauffman. He's an expert on thrillers and action movies, such as: ¨The prodigy, The Hit List, Sinners and saints, One in the Chamber , The Marine 4: moving target, Daylight's end, Warhorse One, Lazarat, The Channel , Metralla¨, among others.

The saga Jarhead is made up of: ¨Jarhead¨ (2005) by Sam Mendes with Jake Gyllenhaal, Scott MacDonald, Peter Sarsgaard, Jamie Foxx, Lucas Black. ¨Jarhead: Field of fire¨(2014) by Don Michael Paul with Cole Hauser, Stephen Lang, Bokeem Woodbine, Esai Morales , Jesse Garcia, Jason Wong, Josh Kelly.¨Jarhead: The siege¨ (2016) by William Kaufman with Scott Adkins, Charlie Weber, Dante Basco , Romeo Miller, Erik Valdez, Sasha Jackson, Dennis Haysbert. ¨Jarhead: Law of Return¨ (2019) with Devon Sawa, Amaury Norlasco, Amos Taman, Nicholas Aaron, Robert Patrick .

"Sometimes being a good Marine means coming in last." Evan Albright (Weber) has just arrived for his new assignment guarding an American Embassy located in the Kingdom. His ego and attitude don't endear him to his fellow soldiers or commanders. When someone comes into the building he is guarding and things erupt outside everything changes. Now, him and the little group of guards must not only protect those inside the building, but the entire Embassy itself. This is a movie that tried so hard to be like 13 Hours, and actually wasn't terrible. Considering the budget restraints this movie had this was actually pretty decent and worth watching. It never became overly cheesy or laughable even though it came close a few times. This is becoming one of the best B action movie series' and it didn't try to do too much, which actually helped the movie. This is nothing comparable to 13 Hours, but for what it was it was entertaining and very watchable. Overall, worth watching and is pretty entertaining. A low budget 13 Hours that is worth your time. I give this a B.

This isn't a film, it's a stupid laddish bullet-fest and nothing more. Guns, guns, and more guns, unleashing a million rounds, making lots of noise, and completely bombing.
