American Sniper - Reviews

...one would be hard pressed to find a purer example of American movie directing in this day and age.

Star Bradley Cooper does some of his best acting ever here.

...most valuable work since Letters From Iwo Jima. More to the point, the story of this God-loving Texan boy and sharpest shooter in American military history, fits the director’s lean, thoughtful aesthetic like a made-to-measure poncho.

...Bradley Cooper is a dramatic revelation as Kyle. Bulked up and muscular, the actor functions here with an economy of physical artifice and language.

Bradley Cooper är övertygande i huvudrollen.

...et heltedigt om en mand, der ikke tøver med at sætte sit eget liv på spil for fædrelandet, ja, han ligefrem opsøger de livsfarlige situationer.

Eastwood er en mester i at betragte sine hovedpersoners heroiske gerninger og samtidig finde og studere de moralsk tvivlsomme elementer af heroismen.

Pulsen springer et slag over, når vi kigger ned gennem Kyles kikkertsigte og venter på det rungende brag med tilbageholdt åndedræt.
