American Sniper

From a movie standpoint, this is a fantastic one. However, I have mixed feelings. This movie glorifies someone who undoubtedly saved many people, but this was at the expense of going into a country that we shouldn’t have been in in the first place. I strongly (look at comments)

It is impossible to tell this man’s story properly, and this movie proves that. Ignoring critically controversial moments from his life in order to only show him as a hero seems quite disingenuous. Also, lazy filmmaking from Eastwood (see “prop baby”). Feels like a lie.

In many ways, "American Sniper" is new territory for Clint Eastwood while still retaining his signature hallmark of grit and heart.

3.9/5

4/5---Very good---Rank B+

-I felt really bad for the wife
- I think the kid with the RPG thing was dramatic I think a warning shot at his feet would have definitely made him drop it
