Just left the theater a mere five hrs ago after watching this masterpiece. In a word ...Wow!!!
By all means I recommend seeing this movie as soon as possible. Although, be warned that despite there being more brutal war movies out there, this is not for the faint of heart. It is after all ...Rated R for a reason.
Went to see it with three friends, and we All thought it was rather amazing! Some of us were teary-eyed (myself included) by the end, and the majority of the audience left the theater with a somber and reverent silence, which I have not observed in a movie theater since attending The Passion of the Christ (although that one hit harder and had an even greater impact)!
Definitely one of Eastwood's best works, and easily Cooper's finest two hrs, thus far!
Trying not to hype it, because I know some will find a way to be disappointed
(or possibly find offense) but I think most people with a pulse, a heart, and an I.Q. greater than a lemon will be in suspense, emotionally moved and possibly even thankful.
Worth mentioning, it also had some good laughs and great action in all the right places. And it is impeccably acted.
I don't put much stock in the Oscars and who they usually choose to honor, but I do hope this gets the recognition it deserves.
Btw, the subtitle on the thread heading is mine (obviously).
Respect, honor and thanks go out to Chris Kyle and all who have served, and also to those who continue to serve and risk their lives to defend the United States as well as the innocents of other countries oppressed by tyranny! We salute you!
