Jennifer Aniston’s acting was good, but that was the only good thing about this long and very depressing movie. Why would anyone want to go to a movie where the main character is in pain and very depressed during the entire 2 hours? This movie was a nightmare to sit through, so why bother?
Miss this movie and save yourself 2 hours of depression.
What a stupid movie this was. It was like we have seen this same movie 100 times already. Just a dumb idea and a dumb story and its amazing that Lopez decided to this movie after not making a movie for so long.
Miss this movie at all costs
What makes a great war movie? A movie that shows the horror of war, and doesn’t try to make the insanity and horror of war any less than what it really is. The all time champion of this will always be “Saving Private Ryan”, which came out in July 1998. The movie “American Sniper” is not on a par with Saving Private Ryan as far as showing battle scenes and death but as far as show how war affects a returning soldier both physically and mentally, American Sniper shows this as well as any war movie I have ever seen.
Bradley Cooper did a great job with his role in this movie and has already been nominated for an Academy Award and there is a good chance that Micheal Keaton will win best actor for Birdman, which is a movie that I did not like, but that’s Hollywood. Saving Private Ryan didn’t even win for best picture in 1998, losing incredibly to the movie “Shakespeare in Love”, which had to be the most ridiculous snub in Oscar History.
I strongly recommend “American Sniper”.
