Shameless propaganda

Rating: 2/10 (25 February 2015)

I went to see this because of two reasons: trailers looked promising (it looked like this movie would ask a few moral questions about a war and people involved in it) and it was nominated for an Oscar in 6 categories. Let me sum it up like this: I feel ashamed, because I supported the creators of this garbage by going to the cinema.
What we have here ladies and gentlemen is a shameless American propaganda movie. Good boys going to save freedom and safety of America by marching through randomly picked middle east country and killing evil standing on their path.
We have everything here: the bible, 9/11, cowboy from Texas joining the army to protect American freedom killing people with no remorse or shame, lame family side-story, American flags all over the place, pure evil iraquis, stupid wolves/sheep/sheepdog story, terrible pacing of the movie, no questions or answers about the war whatsoever...
The story is boring to say the least, the action constantly jumps between our killing machine in action and whiny wife with children (why should we care about this sub-plot?), the ending leaves you with the feeling of wasted 2 hours.
I'm not giving it 1, because Bradley Cooper was OK in it and overall quality of the movie wasn't terrible.
And to sum it up I have a drinking game for you: drink every time you're reminded that Kyle is a legend. You will be drunk halfway through the movie :P
