Cynical film

Rating: 3/10 (2 February 2015)

Without coming off ignorant, I could see why this movie would be a hit but that doesn't mean I think the movie is good. Yeah, this is meant to be a black and white movie. That focuses on the a Sniper that is known for a lot of kills in combat. I don't think that makes this movie really patriotic or anything like that. Sure, the thing that stands out about this movie is how it's based on a true story. But in my opinion that also works against it as well. The acting is on target though. But when it comes the direction of it all, it comes off pretty darn cynical. I appreciate the men and women that protect and serve America. But this like I said just comes off very cynical. It's a simple black and white movie, and simple doesn't always make a movie better. The movie just seemed far from it being constructive. The movie seem to only portray all the positive aspects of Chris Kyle while shoving his negative actions under the rug.
3.3/10
