American Sniper
5 out of 5 Intense Stars
"If you think that this war isn't changing you, you're wrong. You can only circle the flames so long."
Wow. This movie, about a real-life hero, will leave you speechless. You will feel as if you are actually fighting with Chris Kyle (portrayed by Bradley Cooper), not just watching a movie on a screen. A film based on war, family and country, it hooks you on the first scene, and after that you'll be unable to look away. American Sniper is a powerful story that tells you about a legend of war, what he sacrificed for his beliefs and country, and it will change you. Bradley Cooper puts on an amazing performance, and Clint Eastwood reveals the harsh truth of war, describing the lives soldiers lead. An absolute must see, American Sniper is an intense film that accurately describes the life of the legend Chris Kyle, and if there's only one movie you watch this year, it should be this one. I feel like I haven't written much on my review, but there's not a lot to say (I'm still a bit speechless) - I guess the main thing to say is watch this movie. You will absolutely not regret it, and it will change your perspective on war, on family, on country and on the world.
“People tell me I saved hundreds and hundreds of people. But I have to tell you: it’s not the people you saved that you remember. It’s the ones you couldn't save. Those are the ones you talk about. Those are the faces and situations that stay with you forever.”
