That film will split the audience

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2015)

American Sniper will split the audience in two (or maybe more) groups. Pacifist will see it totally different than people who were in a war or at least aren't totally against it. A biography of a young man, a sniper...he has to kill mothers and children...he becomes a father by himself and can't kill a kid that easy anymore...he wasn't able to protect all his fellow soldiers...he has to fight against a guilty conscience...against post-traumatic stress disorder. The film is often like the mission of a sniper. It happens nothing for a long time and you just wait for something...for some action. And then, all of a sudden you get more action than you can handle. Coincidence? If yes it's a weakness of the movie, because there are really boring parts...but if that's no coincidence, if they wanted to make a film about a sniper which is like the mission of a sniper...well, they did and it's brilliant.
