      • Apr 10, 2017

        While there's a war story here (snd the pros and cons of war on either side of the aisle are addressed, nodded to) Eastwood focuses instead on the slow pervasive addiction of warfare, how nothing compares to the adrenaline rush and how subtly it begins to creep under one's skin. Cooper solidly portrays a dude who's got it all under control, until he realizes that he doesn't. Good film.

        considering the calibre of other war films out there it wasnt very good. even just looking at clint eastwoods directorial catalogue the two about iwo jima were better.

        Powerful story about a man's dedication to his country and what war can do to someone once they come home. Incredibly well acted by Bradley Cooper and the direction from Clint Eastwood sets this film above many of his others. Can be difficult to watch at times because war is very rough but this one is definitely recommended.

        "American Sniper" is a well-shot Drama/Action film of 2015. The plot to "American Sniper" is a man named "Chris Kyle" portrayed by "Bradley Cooper" is sent out as a sniper to fight in the Iraq war. He later meets a woman named "Taya" portrayed by "Sienna Miller" who he eventually marries and has children with. The movie just shows "Chris Kyle" as he goes on his tours as a sniper. The movie starts off with a dark opening of "Chris Kyle" about to shoot a child with a bomb. This scene is dark, but should not have been the movie's first scene. The majority of the movie is "Chris" going on his military tours. The film's climax is both thrilling and suspenseful. It makes a great scene and a great climax. The plot to the movie is good; the characters aren't really shown as well as they should have. "Bradley Cooper" has once again shown the audience how much of an incredible actor he is. The music in this movie captures the sadness, thrill and suspense of scenes. "Sienna Miller" is an okay actress but in this movie it doesn't fell as if she's putting in 100% . As mentioned before "American Sniper" was filmed beautifully, the action sequences are thrilling because of director "Clint Eastwood". One thing that is very noticeable is the "Blood Squibs", pretty much every person who gets shot has a blood squib. The "Blood Squibs" are made using C.G.I. there are some scenes that the C.G.I. is very noticeable. If you are a person who enjoys "Clint Eastwood's" latest movies then I recommend you watch "American Sniper" as it has good acting, great visuals and suspenseful music. Although the movie does have some issues some being characters being unnoticeable, less C.G.I. and better directing. I give 2014's "American Sniper" a 7/10.
