American Sniper

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.

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)

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

Ehhh. It was okay

Never support this film, Lies told by a murdering fraud who lied throughout his live and thankfully shot in the back by his own side

It’s not without its faults and it unfortunately leans into the glorifying war/America trope a little bit. But Bradley Coopers performance and the overall storytelling are both done so masterfully it really keeps you engaged. An excellent biopic for when you have the time
