Technically great but..

Rating: 4/10 (19 January 2015)

First of all, hat's off to Clint Eastwood for such amazing directing, and also to Bradley Cooper for delivering an outstanding performance. The story itself is about a sniper at the Iraq-America war which is quite a sensitive topic. Automatically, your views about the war would affect your opinion of the movie, and since I am totally against it, I must say I was not moved much by the movie.
I thought the movie was going to focus more on the idea of how men are changed by the war, which it did but just not enough. I also thought it was sometimes a bit politically motivated to justify America's actions and illustrate the heroism of its soldiers.
All in all, it was not boring and it is impressive on the technical side, but it is probably aimed more towards American audience and not international audience.
