Superb movie in all directions

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2015)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"American Sniper" (2015) is a must see movie for all who enjoy great movies. This one has it all - outstanding acting by lead, and superb performances by all involved. Direction is confident, clear, engaging and superbly paced. At running time 2 h this movie never drags. Set design is superb, you really feel like you are in location during the whole movie, and outstanding cinematography just enriches the experience. No shaky camera (although i don't mind of it) - it's really rare thing to see a war movie shoot in old fashioned way. Sound design is also outstanding - there is simply not one weak point in this movie (well there is one actually with the definitely fake baby, which kinda distracts for a moment, but it's a to minor complain. There is a lot of down to reality action, there is a good and solid drama, and it's a war biopic that shows its central hero from child till his last days.
Overall, "American Sniper" is a superb movie. It tells interesting story and although it's nothing groundbreaking original, but everything here is done so well that you will be glued to your screens during the whole movie. All in all, this is a great movie.
