The cast is good because here we have the great veteran STEPHEN LANG (Don't Breathe, VFW) who is the Major of the team of marines out in the dangerous death trap of Iraq & his presence is definitely needed to raise it up in quality & by his serious performance as the other youngsters are the typical loud, mouthy & trying-to-be-funny typical squad in these types of war action flicks except for when the excellent, underrated but great COLE HAUSER comes into the movie as a special forces soldier trying to transport an Iraq woman to safety, she's important & that's his mission out there. HAUSER is always a welcomed tough hero presence in anything, been a fan since Pitch Black & he's always a solid actor & steals the show in everything like for example "Tears of the Sun" he was better than Bruce Willis!!!! Anyway the guy is great & here he's the best character in the movie & gives the best performance.
This is a typical mission behind enemy lines type of war action flick & it's done pretty well with a gritty look & plenty of action packed shootout scenes.
I didn't like the typical "Country Music" & "Rap music" used at the beginning because it's so typical & boring now but the actual film was fairly decent even though it felt like so many I've seen & by the end it gets abit boring & it plays out exactly like you know it will but worth a watch but that's it & i only watched it became of Cole Hauser.
The 3rd in the Jarhead franchise is easily the best "The Siege" that flick is Awesome!!!
