He better keep his day job. I saw "American Sniper" Saturday and I thought it was an excellent movie!! Couldn't have asked for it to be any better.

Agreed, outstanding movie. Cried like a little bitch at the end. In my defense we saw it at cinebarre and I was hammed by the end.

Was damned good... Yea it wasn't an all out "action" movie... But it wasn't ment to be that. Hard to believe it's been almost two years.

Great story line and good sequences. Sad, yet noble story. To this day, can't keep eyes dry seeing a flag draped coffin or the mournful tone of Taps.... Unfortunately, the editing and directing was horrible. If you know anything about the Dirty Harry series and Eastwoods hurry up and shoot it attitude, it followed this one.

Good movie. I hope it opens people's eyes to the mental issues after war. Same with Hurt Locker. Not a "Hollywood" movie but a view into the results of war.

It was a very good movie. I was fine watching most of it. I couldn't watch the end. This movie and "Fury" are the only two I have seen recently which don't give me flashbacks. Have not seen Hurt Locker. Likely never will.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice to this great nation. I cannot wait to see this movie, I was gonna see it last night while I was in Moses lake but the wife wants me to wait until she can go. Happy Wife Happy Life........................Right?
