Too long but with surprising end

Rating: 6/10 (21 February 2017)

I watched American Sniper on Netflix and I needed three evenings to see until the end. I think the running time is with 140 minutes too long. The scenes were sometimes too slow paced. Apart this it was great cinema and at least you have here a true story. I never imagined that it ends so surprisingly but I won't spoil more about. The cinematography is well done and the special effects on the battle field too. It offers many emotions and psychological moments. If you like this genre of movies give it a try. But be warned there are some brutal pictures hard to digest. If you like these desert terror thrillers don't miss the other fast paced ones The Hurt Locker or Lone Survivor. 6/10
