I actually think this is some of Eastwood's better recent work as a director, and although Cooper is an actor I often give a hard time for being over-rated I felt he was quite good in this role. American Sniper is a realistic and compelling modern war film, however I don't think it departs enough from what a movie like The Hurt Locker did (nor is it as gritty and intense) to stand alone as a great modern war film.lmkmoviemaniac
Another authentic and 'real' war movie from Hollywood, with Bradley Cooper being the perfect choice for the lead sniper's role.Bradley Cooper was sort of in the Silver Linings Playbook groove again here, as the patriotic sniper who finds it tough to be normal in his everyday life and with family. Initially he finds life very pointless as just a cowboy, and enrolls for military service as he feels he can make a difference and not just sit and watch. Later, he is increasingly consumed by life as a sniper.
The film has some gripping war scenes shot very well with the required finesse and production values. Fizzles out towards the end, and finishes on a sad and patriotic note.
