American Sniper





Jean, This is a grim and gritty and sometimes gruesome movie. It shows Clint Eastwood's respect for the military and their mission in Irag. The story is about a Navy Seal who became an American sniper with 4 tours of duty in Irag. He is credited with over 160 kills in those tours of duty. This is 2 hours and 14 minutes of fire fights in Irag with really a minimum of family scenes in the "states". Bradley Cooper plays the role of the sniper in an excellent understated manner. He shows the affects of the killings on  a human in so many small but effective ways. There are no bands playing, and soldiers marching here, but a realistic and thought provoking  look at a military man's life. Dad

The previews were:
