American Sniper

Rating: 3.5/5

American Sniper is a movie by Clint Eastwood starring Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller.
Cooper plays the role of Chris Kyle an american soldier from texas in the seal unit, who goes to iraq following the attacks of 9/11 to help the us army find and isolate the mass destruction weapons. 
Kyle is a deadly sniper who is called by his mates "the legend" because of his perfect shooting. The story revolves around the mental state of a soldier who goes abroad to fight an enemy and then returns home with a trauma from something he encountered while on duty. 
We realize the extreme effort put by Cooper to imitate a citizen from Texas, either in the way he talks or in the way he walks and get dressed. Cooper did a magnificent job in being a Texan. And we can't ignore also the effort put by Miller to express the feeling of a wife who's husband is in a battlefield. 
The only thing i hoped i would see in this movie was that the mental state of the soldier will get the bigger part of the running time instead of the battlefield warfare like any other war movie. The light should be in bigger part on the mental health of the soldier, the amercian army returned home with much more problems than physical ones, so that's why this movie had to be unique. I'm not saying it gets dull or slow at any part, but it should have had it's bigger part focused on the return to homeland and the mental issues a soldier can have from a war, and the post war life he lives.
