      Jeff C Emotional. (Minus the obvious fake baby blunder), remarkable film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/28/21 Full Review N I think this was better than a lot of people say. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/17/21 Full Review William I It was fast-moving and was an accurate picture of the circumstances at that time. The actors were excellent! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/21 Full Review MDJ 2 Great movie, good acting and excellent history Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Jason M About as perfect as you can make for a movie about this kind of thing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Franky L This movie is an accurate depiction of the conditions in Iraq after 9-11, and Kris Kyle the sniper with the most kills in this theater of war. This movie stands the test of time. Bradley Cooper's portrayal if Kris Kyle shows his acting strength, and his physical transformation is amazing. A must watch for movie in this genre.

      Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint The script and direction are unabashedly skewed towards feeding a lowest-common-denominator notion of war heroes and takes a righteous stand in favour of war, rather than exploring or portraying an authentic picture of the psychological impact... Aug 5, 2019 Full Review J. Hoberman The New York Review of Books For many, I suspect, American Sniper may be weirdly liberating-gratifying a perhaps hitherto unsuspected desire to see their pessimism, hopeless and unchanging, projected on the screen. Mar 7, 2019 Full Review Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association Well-produced but flawed. Mar 21, 2017 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Eastwood steers clear of politics—it’s not about questioning the mission, it’s about the toll the mission takes on victims and survivors alike. Aug 19, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Eastwood and Hall construct a very cinematic, romantic tale that leaves little to question; though reality, as always, is far more intricate and certainly not as black-and-white. As the saying goes, "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 12, 2022 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson In many ways, "American Sniper" is new territory for Clint Eastwood while still retaining his signature hallmark of grit and heart. Rated: 5/5 Jun 26, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
