I mean... it's not that bad

Rating: 6/10 (27 October 2015)

Let's face it, this is should not have been a Best Picture nominee. But is the movie complete garbage? Absolutely not. Bradley Cooper has an incredible performance as Chris Kyle as well as Sienna Miller. Clint Eastwood's direction also makes you feel like you're dead smack in the middle of this war. The problem with the film lies in the scriptwriting. It's flimsy and didn't really know what it was doing. The directing was unable to match with the screen writing. Eastwood's realistic directing and the unrealistic dialogue clash into this weird mesh of a film. However, it is definitely worth seeing for the sake of Cooper, Miller, and Eastwood.
