adequate-watch - AMERICAN SNIPER [2014], US - English]
- depicting the real-life story of US navy SEAL sniper chris kyle, clint eastwood's american sniper has become the country's highest-grossing war movie ever
- gaining 40 pounds for the role, bradley cooper gave a credible performance which has earned him his 3rd consecutive oscar nomination (in acting). did his portrayal of kyle make us feel for his growing detachment & disorientation, yes. was it an oscar-worthy performance, not to me
- whilst it manages to take audience into the deteriorating journey of veterans during & post war, american sniper doesn't do anything that other war films haven't already done much better. we've seen far more compelling war-themed films like 'the hurt locker' [2009] and eastwood's own 'letters from iwo jima' [2006]
RATING : C+
