American Sniper was a compellingly dramatic depiction of the heroism and hardships of Chris Kyle

Rating: 8/10 (25 January 2015)

I consider myself an independent though I usually vote Demoratic. With that in mind, I viewed this movie with an open mind concerning the character of Chris Kyle and his motivations for fighting in the Middle East as well as how he coped with his post-war life and home life concerning his wife and his children. Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller do fine in their roles as first single people getting to know each other before they get married and he then goes to a far away country protecting people in a foreign land from committing terrors against other peoples. Clint Eastwood compellingly depicts the hardships involved in doing the job and making it back not only in one piece but also with some lasting issues in trying to get back to a normal life after all that calamity. So on that note, I recommend American Sniper.
