Kudos to Eastwood and Cooper

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2015)

For some who will take umbrage at this review I say flatly I am a combat Veteran.
Clint Eastwood demonstrates once again why he is one of the top 10 Directors of all time joining the company of Billy Wilder, George Stevens, William Wyler, Frank Capra, George Cukor, John Huston, John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, David Lean as a consummate story teller. Eastwood is brilliant in bringing to life the story of Chris Kyle.
Bradley Cooper becomes Chris Kyle, and if not for Hollywood's leftist dismissal of war films that show American soldiers in positive light, Cooper would be a cinch to win Best Actor!
Eastwood's being denied a Best Director nomination is more a reflection of bias; the audience has voted making this the biggest grossing war film of all time
The entire cast beginning with Sienna Miller gives Cooper great support.
The movies wrenching ending engendered from the audience I saw it respectful and strong applause.
Bravo Eastwood and Cooper
