Action, Romance, and Drama all wrapped into one!

Rating: 9/10 (20 September 2019)

American Sniper, a true story, and a realistic war drama, Bradley Cooper's performance is highly captivating and is a spot-on portrayal of Chris Kyle, United States Navy Seal sniper. This film not only has action-packed war scenes but it also offers some romance by letting you take a glimpse of how Chris and his wife, Taya end up together and eventually married.
Along with the action and romance, this film surely doesn't skimp on the drama. During Kyle's 6 tours in Afghanistan, you begin to see the effects that the War has on Chris and his family. This film does a fantastic job showing the audience how a soldier returning home could experience the effects of PTSD and things their families can do and what they can do to get help.
So much of Chris Kyle's life gets packed into 2 hours and 14 minutes but nothing feels underdeveloped or left out of this film. In the dramatic ending of Chris Kyle learning how to cope with his PTSD, he finds comfort in helping other soldiers through their PTSD. Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in American History lived the tell the tale of 6 tours in Afghanistan only to perish at the hand of one of his own. This film is an emotional roller coaster that sadly ends in tears.
