American Sniper Reviews and Ratings
-
American Sniper is blunt, uncomfortable, and thought-provoking. At 84, Eastwood can still play a young man’s game. Don’t miss this film.
-
The film, based on a book co-written by Kyle himself, will make you flinch at both the relentless fighting and the unilateral view the Americans in its midst have of it.
-
American Sniper fails to effectively answer the questions it raises and truth be told, Bradley Cooper’s performance was the only thing that ‘hit the mark’.
-
American Sniper is hard-hitting, no doubt, and predominantly a performance-oriented film, where Cooper shines. It isn’t the Clint Eastwood classic you expect it to be, though.
-
Eastwood creates enough drama and tension, which makes American Sniper a terrific film!
Clint Eastwood is at his best so American Sniper shouldn’t be missed.
-
There is a fair bit of on field action, which primarily portrays the soldiers in good light and most of the local residents are either double crossing agents or bad guys. Perhaps that is what Kyle came across during his encounters. Much like what we saw in The Hurt Locker, being in the middle of the action almost becomes an obsession. While it celebrates the heroics of a soldier on the duty, it also laments about war and its final outcome.
