American Beauty director Sam Mendes tackles the first Iraq war in oddball style

WHAT'S IT ABOUT? Young US Marine gets the full Desert Storm experience. That's going through boot camp training, puking up sand and tackling unseen enemies in scorching heat.

ANY GOOD? Starts off like Full Metal Jacket for Iraq, then ascends into a totally unique, compelling war drama.

QUOTE FOR THE POSTER: 'The spirit of Private Pile returns in the form of Donnie Darko!'.

REASON TO WATCH: 'Cos you're sick of CGI-animated apes and lions, and don't think Jake Gyllenhall's an arse.
