Marines - DVD

The movie The Marine follows Swoff (J. Gyllenhaal) from a boring stay in a boot camp for new recruits to the moment when he stands with a sniper rifle in the middle of the Middle Eastern desert, which offers him no protection from the unbearable heat or from Iraqi soldiers. Swoff and his partners keep their sanity even in harsh conditions by using irony and constant jokes. Because they are fighting in the country, where they don't understand anyone, against the enemy, who is invisible, and for reasons, that they don't quite understand.
