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.

More Review
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Michael Ledo 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.
phanthinga You don't have to be a fan of Jarhead series to enjoy Jarhead 3: The Siege.Directed by William Kaufman a good but underrated action movie director starring Charlie Weber as the lead role and Scott Adkins as the supporting role but still awesome nonetheless.The acting is fine for the most part but when it come to action scene if you familiar with William works you know how good it is.The gun fight is so intense and bloody that guarantee keep you on the edge of your seat.
daerday So pretty much this movie was nothing but action... I forced myself to watch Jarhead 3... First Jarhead movie was great, well written funny yet serious. The second one was too serious and stole lines from movies like V for Vendetta. The 3rd one they just said screw it to a story and just had non stop fighting for 2 hours straight. Made me think of wanting to make a movie and title is the third installment then make it just after the intro nothing but action to confused the people and end the movie with the hero saying some sly line like "Your logic is flawed murdering innocent people. You are not a hero to your people but a murder." then the villain saying "I see my error of my ways I surrender." right in the middle of a tense action scene.The guns seemed to have unlimited ammo, and I realized the blonde girl was most likely CIA since she knew how to shoot right from the get go.I would never consider this movie to anyone I know to save them 2 hours of their life... Sad part is I watched Jarhead 2 and 3 which had nothing to do with the original plot of Jarhead which was actually written by a man who spent time in Iraq during desert storm/desert shield.
quincytheodore It's originally a delight to see B-movie with more emphasis on realism of marine life than merely blasting guns. Scott Adkins looks better in acting department too as he plays the high rank officer and there's good effort to develop intense scene from military part. However, it soon crumbles with poor Jason Bourne imitation for shady opt, uncomfortable missed machismo and a particularly strange silly man of supporting character.The first misfit comes in the form of Blake, the documentary guy. He sticks out like a sore thumb in every scene, throwing needless jokes and ruining the high octane sequence. If there is a need for comic relief, then it has to be done with more finesse and less unsavory method. The film gives almost half of its runtime to create a sense of dread, yet this nagging character singlehandedly ruins it, even more so when the other actors trying to deliver a more serious performance.Scott Adkins is more comfortable here, he has good mentor-student relationship with Albright (Charlie Weber), the protagonist. The rest of the squad are decent as well. Then, it suddenly introduces a tough female character who may or may not be a spy, in Top Gun-esque bantering. There's also mandatory nationalism angle, which is not entirely bad, but seems shoehorned in as emotional bait.After halfway point the movie pushes the shooting to the maximum volume, gunning for most bullets shot per minute. It's the usual gunslinger military stuff, which is admittedly expected. Nothing too grand, although there are some oddities like people running away from covers and even though Scott Adkins is here, this is not martial art movie, so those expecting intricate hand-to-hand combat might be disappointed."Jarhead 3" is the expected cinematic rendition of soldiers filled with testosterone and gunpowder, and also unfortunately a few out-of-elements ridiculous antics.
