Going into American Sniper, I knew the basics of Chris Kyle and his story and what the movie was about. But it was the controversy surrounding the man and the movie that had me intrigued the most. I was curious which side I would fall on in what has been said to be a very polarizing film. Having just watched this, I'm in the camp that actually enjoyed the film for what it is. Sure, it may not be entirely accurate with some of the things in the movie from the book, but then what Hollywood film about War is? Things are changed to make it more easier to digest. Why people slam American Sniper because of that is just ridiculous. Moving on, I gotta say that Bradley Cooper was great as Kyle. All the accolades he for the role were justified.  Clint Eastwood did a fantastic job putting this together. Love the way it was cut and edited. One thing that did surprise me was the hunt for Kyle's nemesis Mustafa. This did make it seem a bit more like a video game at times. One last thing, that scene where Cooper picks up his baby was so damn stupid and why I can't give this movie 5 Stars. I'm really surprised that no one on the set or in the editing bay caught how fake it looked. Well, maybe they did. I dunno.  Anyway, worth a Rent for those that dig war movies.
