American Sniper (4.0/5)




Eastwood rarely puts a foot wrong from cast to cinematography to score.  American Sniper is as impeccable as any of his vast legacy.  Yet, there is a tinge of disappointment in a film that portrays an American hero, only suggests the troubles veterans face and touches the juxpostion of sniper Kyle and his insurgent counterpart.  This otherwise excellent film needs a partner as in Flags of our Fathers/Letters from Iwo Jima.  The audience departed in respectful silence.

Director: Clint Eastwood
Cast: Bradley Cooper [Chris Kyle], Sienna Miller [Taya Renae Kyle]
