Clint, God, country, family

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2015)

Is this Clint Eastwood's last masterpiece? IMDb does not list any films coming up after American Sniper. He is 85 so it is possible he is considering retiring. If so he leaves an impressive body of work. American Sniper is a war movie & very difficult to watch. There is no sugar coating. Bradley Cooper & Sienna Miller do a great job of playing the Kyles an American couple caught up in the Iraq War which is still going on today. There are really no other substantial roles in the movie. Kyle's fellow soldiers are all in the background & only occasionally come into focus as real people. The film is based on Chris Kyle's book & is a faithful adaptation of one man's experience in wartime.
