Great Movie – Direction, Screenplay, Performances – Mistaken Character

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2015)

The Texan Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) has been a skilled shooter since he was a kid. When he is an adult, he decides to join the SEAL to become a sniper. Meanwhile he meets the gorgeous Taya (Sienna Miller) in a bar and soon they get married and have two children. He travels four times to Iraq and along his tours, he protects the American soldiers with his precise shoots and becomes a legend. However, each time that he returns home, he has problems to readjust to his family and to the social life.
"American Sniper" is a great movie regarding direction, screenplay, performances and realism of the scenes. Bradley Cooper has awesome performance and it is impressive the resemblance of Sienna Miller and him with Taya and Chris. Unfortunately the story is based on a mistaken character that is taken as a hero for killing civilians that are protecting their homes and land in a war, in a sort of apology to violence. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "American Sniper"
