Storyline
Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who dreamed of becoming a
cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed
something different, something where he could express his real talent,
something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. So he
joined the SEALs in order to become a sniper. After marrying, Kyle and
the other members of the team are called for their first tour of Iraq.
Kyle's struggle isn't with his missions, but about his relationship with
the reality of the war and, once returned at home, how he manages to
handle it with his urban life, his wife and kids.
User Reviews
American Sniper is
Clint Eastwood's harrowing take on Chris Kyle's life and his service in
the Navy as a SEAL sniper who killed nearly 200 enemy soldiers. The film
is relentlessly violent and disturbing but honors the life of the late
Chris Kyle in a very admirable way. It doesn't show this man as an
invincible legend, it shows him as a mere man with a heart and soul that
are clearly broken due to his sacrifice for his country. Bradley Cooper
delivers the best performance of his career as Chris Kyle. Cooper
didn't merely bulk up for the role, he became this man without any
hesitation and doesn't hit a false note. Clint Eastwood proves that he
can still deliver a phenomenal film even in his mid-eighties. It isn't
only impressive for his age, but American Sniper is an impressive film
in general. It doesn't wallow in classic war film clichès, it tells
Kyle's story the way he told it in the book and while some creative
liberties were taken in telling the story regarding pacing, it is an
excellent film. It isn't an all out war film like The Hurt Locker, it is
a heavy drama with plenty of gut wrenching scenes both on and off the
battle field. The most interesting part of this film is the parallels
between Kyle's life as a sniper and Kyle's deteriorating life state
side. It is an interesting dynamic to add to a film like this and echoes
past films from the 70s such as Coming Home and The Deer Hunter. On a
technical level, American Sniper sores with great cinematography that is
a bit more colorful when compared to Eastwood's past films and
excellent sound design. You see every wound and hear every gunshot with
realistic velocity. It is a truly great cinematic experience. Overall,
American Sniper is a great film that will tug at your heart strings much
like last year's Lone Survivor and even goes one step beyond that film
and gives us grade A entertainment with grade A acting. It stands as one
of the best films of the year.
