Review of American Sniper (2014) by Thegodfatherson — 30 Dec 2014
The user reviews for this movie were mediocre, which is wrong because its not a bad movie. American Sniper is Clint Eastwood's take on Chris Kyle's life, and it comes out with good and bad results. First of all, this is Bradley Cooper's best performance in years, even better than Playbook and Hustle.
Director Clint Eastwood emphasizes very much on the family aspect of Kyle's life. That was a bum because long scenes in the movie just focus on Taya- Kyle's wife played excellently by Sienna Miller. Even though its a touch too long, the battle sequences are some of the best I have seen, the amount of tension is unbelievable and Eastwood nails that.
The film becomes ultimately a drama thats too much on the family side than on the war aspect that viewers want to see, thats not a bad thing but they could be shorter. This is a good film, despite some flaws its not only watchable, but its a reminder of American history.
American Sniper gets a 7/10 from me.
