American Sniper (2014)

Some very realistic, gory, intense scenes pepper the high-flown story of Chris Kyle. Cooper is only decent. The story of the modern American soldier is better told through a documentary. On the whole, underwhelming. Move along.

The problem with American Sniper is not its jingoism or embellishment of Chris Kyle's story. It's that it's uneven and unoriginal. Cooper does a excellent job, but the film rehashes everything we saw in The Hurt Locker seven years ago. Worth seeing, but nothing remarkable.

ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽_•︻ ┻̿═━一 The entire film is extremely interesting (at least to a war movie novice viewer), but I have no idea who let Clint make that sandstorm scene. Also Beefy Bradley is a tantalizing metamorphosis.

American Sniper (2014)

Things are pretty black and white in Eastwood's world, lacking all nuance, which is a shame, as what he does he does pretty solidly. BC is okay, but a third consecutive oscar nom is a farce. Also, this may take some of the shine off, but turns out Chris Kyle is a bit of a psycho.

American Sniper (2014)

A decent, compelling, troubling film, based on the real life of legendary sniper Chris Kyle. Strong performances by SM and BC. Decent directing by CE. (On a personal note, this actually isn't my genre of film, but from a professional POV, it deserves a high 'grade'.)
