It was pretty good, I liked it!
The story fallows american sniper (duh) Chris Kyle (played by Bradley Cooper), who after spending some time in the rodeos with his brother and having an upbringing from a religious family (and a rough father)... he decides to join the army to do something of worth in his life and serve his country.
Based on the real story, it fallows pretty much his whole life, with his wife and children, close friends in the battle has well has his role in the middle-east conflict. One aspect that I love about the movie is just how it doesn't pull back any punches in the horrors these brave men saw in the field of battle and you can even fully relate to Chris´s character when he goes back home with his family and finds hard to disconnect from the things he has seen and done... hell you can´t even blame him from acting irrationally at times!
That´s another thing; the movie just builds extraordinary from the character´s development because it is just has long has it needs to be and shows everything we need to see from the point of view of the main character, turning his into a great main character because we are with him every step of the way and we learn about him through his journey.
One thing that really didn't got me was the portrayal of the american patriotism, has somebody who isn't from the USA, I can't be expected to relate to every time the characters talk about how great the US is or how beautiful the US flag is when the movie showcases it in front of me... this isn't a criticism but just an observation. What makes this movie great is the main character who I got to admire, not has an american hero, but has a human being.
American Sniper is a very good movie and one that I encourage you to watch; its a great war movie with plenty of action and good character accompanying it.
