Jarhead 3: The Seige (2016)

Plot of Jarhead 3: Marine Corporal Albright is posted to n American Embassy in a middle-eastern town where there seem to be constant protects taking place at the gates. It is guarded internally by half a dozen marines and externally by local police. Albright notices that a particular local is taking an interest in the facility, at one point videoing the gate and reports this to the ambassador. This pisses off the security man and a female embassy employee who Albright finds out is a spook. It turns out that the local man is the leader of a very large group of terrorists who attack the embassy using submachine guns and finally RPGs. The Gunnery Sergeant is killed in the fire fight, and the ambassador appoints Albright to take charge. With difficulty they manage to get out of the embassy and take shelter in a burger bar. Meanwhile help is on the way, but will it be in time.

Content: No sex or nudity. Although the marines drink beer on the roof while surveying the exterior of the embassy with binoculars. The terrorists attack with a car bomb, some machine guns on trucks and very large numbers of people with Kalashnikovs. An unfeasible number are gunned down, but they never stop coming.

A View: Charlie Weber, as Albright, does a pretty good job in what is an absolutely dire film. Once the introductions are over it is machine gun fire from beginning to end. If you are coming new to Jarhead, watch the original , which is a great story. I watched this one so you don’t have to.

Fun Fact: Scott Adkins, who played the Gunnery Sergeant, is actually a Brit, who has “Casualty” amongst his screen credits.
