American disappointment

American Sniper (2014)

Directed by Clint Eastwood this film based on a true story stars Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller. A man from Texas becomes a Navy SEAL sniper and serves several tours in Iraq.

This film ends up being a bit of a disappointment as it always seems like it is going to focus on the psychological affects of war and the poor treatment of veterans but it never gets there. To much is focused on the war sections which are sadly changed to suit simplistic Hollywood norms. As always Clint Eastwood delivers a steady hand of direction but the script for this film keeps it average.


3/5
