Now I love a good war film (Saving Private Ryan is number one) but I love a war film that’s based on a true story, films like Lone Survivor and Black Hawk Down, lone survivor is one of them films where at hits you right in the feels and before you know it your crying like niagra falls, however there is one film I have just got back from viewing and that was American Sniper, a film about the deadliest US sniper in history called Chris Kyle with 200 plus kills to his name he earnt the title “the devil” when he was touring in Iraq here’s a link to a Wikipedia page about him if your interested in looking him up (I would advise you didn’t if you don’t like being spoiled with your movies) but nonetheless here is the link http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Kyle

So the story is about kyles life and how he become the deadliest sniper in the US Millitary, we follow him as he does four tours in Iraq and the after effects and how it affects him while trying to be a dad in the process. The film was filled with awesome battle scenes (particularly the last battle where shit hits the fan) there are also some really sad moments, particularly the parts where he’s at home with his wife and he can hear the battlefield. The acting is superb, particularly Bradley Cooper who plays Chris Kyle, I’m shocked this guy Hasn’t won an Oscar/BAFTA for his role in this film he really played the part well. 

Now I has been told to watch out for a certain scene in this movie, and everyone was saying to me look out for his baby daughter, so I thought “okay why” and as I’m watching this clip…. Well I can’t describe it so here’s a YouTube video showing you this massively noticeable cock up, watch it and tell me that Mr Eastwood needs a new continuity manager or even better a prop manager https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8W3a7s198LU Yeah kinda hard not to notice that major cock up Mr Eastwood, but did that ruin the film for me? no it didn’t because the film got better and better, and we see just what the effects of war can do to people. 

So what do I rate American Sniper? Well the plot was amazing the acting was really impressive and the battle scenes were amazing, overall I would give American Sniper a solid 10/10.
