This film is nothing special, to be honest, and I could name loads of war films that are better than this. The views are amazing though, one example is when they are walking through the oil fields and there is smoke everywhere and it is dark even though it is the middle of the day.
Overall, Jake Gyllenhaell is a brilliant actor but this film is not really worth seeing unless you love war and the army, etc., and I think Full Metal Jacket is the same sort of film but much better.
