Best motion picture in many years

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2015)

American Sniper was a brilliantly done movie. Capturing the horror of war and what volunteer military families go through to keep America safe. A thrilling edge of your seat two hours. War is hell and this movie depicts that very well. Kudos to Eastwood for his direction, Cooper for his portrayal of Chris Kyle, and screenwriter Jason Hall. American sniper humanizes war and delivers truth and humanity. American Sniper is a must see for any and all Americans who are not a losers. Chris Kyle saved many American soldiers lives with the job he did and was a hero to the Nth degree. The film is not a battle hymn or a call to arms. The film's intent is to engender respect for those doing the fighting, not to justify the reasons for the fighting. American Sniper is pro-warrior, not pro-war. Will see for a second time real soon.
