re: My American Sniper thoughts.

I felt the movie lacked drama and that the logistics of the moment was the only thing moving the movie forward. I don't remember but did the movie have a score? It sure could've used one.

I never felt that Chris was in any danger and he was just going through the motions of his job. And the only time the Cooper really gave the character any believable emotion and chemistry were those few seconds with his brother on the airstrip. The confusion and sympathy seemed real.

Overall I was pretty disappointed. But somehow Eastwood still made me feel like a proud American at the end with the real life footage.
