Jarhead 3: The Siege (2016)
Corporal Evan Albright joined the elite Marine Corps Security Guards to save the world and see some action-not necessarily in that order. But his first assignment, protecting a U. S. 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 fire power they can as their once routine assignment spirals into all-out war.

Excellent adaptation.
Better than most people think
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
This film doesn't seem to be connected to the other two and I don't believe they even used the disparaging term "Jarhead." Evan Albright (Charlie Weber) a lone wolf hero type, is assigned a gravy job at a US embassy in an unnamed Middle East country that has ISIS up north. In the first 30 minutes Albright (what's in a name) learns there is no "I" in team, the blond security agent (Sasha Jackson) that comes on to him, doesn't date marines; the ambassador (Stephen Hogan) doesn't have a personality; and his boss Gunny Raines (Scott Adkins) is a stickler to the chain of command. Albright believes an attack is imminent and no one believes him. At about 30 minutes into the film, it hits the fan and the gun fire doesn't let up until the end of the film.This was a fairly formula film with limited unimportant twists. Dennis Haysbert plays a major in this film, a demotion from his normal general or colonel rank. The film takes time to let us know the characters before the over blown shoot out occurs. The film also tosses in some preachy lines of "us vs them" that were a bit corny, but has appeal to those attracted to this type of action film. Albright messes up in one scene and does his Richard Gere " An Officer and a Gentleman " breakdown impersonation, repeating much of the same lines... "I got no where else to go." Groan. Seriously Chad? Those were the best lines you could come up with?However looking beyond the film's short comings, it was a high action, heart pumping thriller with characters.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
its a masterpiece i mean since knack 2 is magnificent and my wife left me i cant see my kids anymore but my dad is still with me until i pull the plug.however the music the effects and the Oscar winning performance of the hottest leading actors of our generation in conclusion watch that my dude.
"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.
It could have been an 80s Movie. We have our loose Gun/Action Hero, we have our blond hottie that will run around with a gun and fihgt like the bigguys and we have our Villain running around always angry.The acting is between mediocre acceptable and bad but not awful. The technical aspects are partly not even bad. Seem like there was some serious training involved.Sadly all that seems to be forgotten when it comes to the actual gunbattles. At least they change sometimes a magazine but it is still those endless rapidfire gunbattles with 30 round mags that hold 200 bullets. And while the good guys got easy overrun in an heavyguarded and well defended Embassy and die like flys, at the end it turns around. While having close to no cover, outgunned, out manned the terrorists drop like flys. So the action part is 80s style, but still try to be serious like a modern Warmovie, trys but fails to be realistic. It even has some slightly critic undertone about politics and agenda of the government, same time it ends up in a bug hurra marines are the best. And of course our Loose Gun turns out to be the superhero that saves the day...All in all a weird mixture, not really entertaining but also not too boring, something you shouldn't think when you see it and you wont after you did.
