Excellent movie that shows a glimpse of a true hero. He is driven, perhaps too far, and neglects his family. But unless you have been in combat and trust in your team members, many people will not understand his mentality.

This is a well done movie, not because it shows what a hero the man is, but because we see why he is how he is, because he was raised by a macho obsessively patriotic father. It also shows how he is obsessed and brain washed into being the…

Very well done and very real. Snowflakes won't like it.

A well crafted movie, produced and directed by Clint Eastwood. Acknowledges one of the most revered, feared and dedicated Navy SEALS in war history. Oorah!, Semper Fidelis! sap454

Plethora of fake newborns aside (Seriously, stop. You're embarrassing yourselves. Two month old real life babies masquerading as newborns are more convincing than dolls.), I enjoyed this movie.

Good movie! Just very sad. Being a GI myself and having met a lot of grunts, I can't fathom the reason for the guy killing Chris. Snipers are a bread unto themselves, which is evident in the movie. But if You haven't been there you'll…

The movie is what's to be expected from Eastwood. The characters remained rather flat, I was hoping that we would get to hear more of Chris Kyle's inner process and dialogue. I will have to read the book I imagine to find that level of…

American Sniper is a film about the life and death of Chris Kyle, a US Navy Seal Sniper. It showcases the difficulties of being a soldier overseas, displaying the PTSD, pain, and harshness of the battlefield. It shows the life of soldiers…

Since this is a Clint Eastwood movie, it can only be about one thing - revenge, but a very one-way revenge - the hero is always the one wronged. Consequently all those "ragheads" are committing inhuman atrocities; not Eastwood's…

I thought this was a gripping movie. Its hard to imagine the impact that war brings to a warrior and his or her family, and I think this movie did good to try and depict that personal cost. I didn't think the movie glorified war, but of…

This movie was well done and entertaining, especially for those who have served during war time. It is clear that the weak-knee'd liberals dislike it for political reasons, as well as their aversion to military, veterans, and those who…

Great biopic about Chris Kyle.

It really figures that this piece of cinematic junk was directed by that total Donald Trump supporter, Clint Eastwood, who, at 87 years of age, is obviously going quite senile.

This film seems to be an insightful character study of a solider even though it is typically American/Hollywood in that it neglects to show even a glimpse of the other side. (Aside from painting the other side as purely heartless and…

Interesting, might have to read the book. i like it wasn't pro or anti war (although definitely Iraqi = evil) but how it affects soldiers even if it was necessary. a little predictable/cliché /nothing super amazing (granted already knew…

At 87 years old - It's time for Clint Eastwood (as a director) to retire.

I felt this was one of the worst military movies made in many years. Bradley Cooper acts very well, but this film was just beyond stupid. From how the characters interacted, to the tactics employed, to Kyle's own delusional self…

(*Most demented "fatherly advice" movie-quote*) - "Remember... There are only 3 types of people in this world. Wolves. Sheep. (and) Sheepdogs." If you ask me - I'd say that "American Sniper" was just another "American Psycho" - Only…

One of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. Eastwood really does better work than this and I expected better. Between a delusional plot and story line, everything was just wrong in this movie. The way the characters interacted,…

Many recent American war movies have been starkly brutal. Yes, also delving into war's effect on the human psyche, but are often downers. Don't expect heroic sunshine and roses here.

Senseless end for someone trying to come back to life. B. Cooper got really buffed up for this film and he nailed the character.

A bit too gung-ho for my liking but special effects were excellent. Much preferred Paul Gross's Hyena Road as the characters were more human.

Let me first confess that I'm not one for war films. AMERICAN SNIPER drew a crowd at the box office, but I wonder how many really enjoyed it and how many just said they did while saluting the American flag. To compare, I immensely enjoyed…

I was wondering if I would even like this film, given the subject matter. The film told the story of the sniper, also the man behind the sniper and his family. I found that I really enjoyed it.

Clint should be ashamed, a sniper talking to his wife back in the US on a phone during a firefight, not once but twice. Artistic license carried to an extreme. Even Hollywood should be able to understand that when the bullets are flying…
