Michael B. Jordan's under-the-radar 2021 movie, 'A Journal for Jordan,' directed by Denzel Washington, is based on the true story of a soldier deployed in Iraq who keeps a journal for his infant son. Despite the star power of Jordan and Washington, the film had a lackluster reception, grossing only $6.7 million on a $25 million budget.
However, the movie has received praise for its depiction of war scenes, particularly from Iraq War veteran Jay Dorleus. Dorleus commended the film for its accuracy in portraying the realities of war in Iraq, giving it a seven-out-of-ten rating for its depiction of an IED explosion scene.
