Review of American Sniper (2014) by Mbstone — 14 Feb 2015
It's not enough merely to observe that this is a right-wing propaganda movie. It's also a bad movie. It IS possible to make propaganda movies that work as movies even for viewers who don't agree with the viewpoint. Case in point: The original "Red Dawn." The makers of Red Dawn really did believe that America was vulnerable to being invaded and conquered by Soviet Russia. Even though the premise of Red Dawn was and is laughable, the Wolverines were people you could root for and the movie worked.
As to American Sniper, for me the picture was one-dimensional, the plot simple and wholly predictable.
