Best war movie in years

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2015)

I had high hopes for this movie and was not disappointed, Bradley Cooper delivers what I think is his best performance thus far. It kicks you in the face and takes you along for the ride. I also commend the attention to detail in every aspect of this film, you could almost taste the Iraqi dust in your mouth. The story follows an American soldier from his home in Texas to the battlefields in Iraq, true camaraderie that I haven't seen in a long time. The portrayal of "p.t.s.d." and how it affects our soldiers was heartfelt and real. If you haven't seen a good war movie since "Saving Pvt. Private Ryan", this one's for you. Congrats Mr. Eastwood, I smell a room full of statues for this one.
