American Sniper (2014)

I think Hurt Locker does a better job with the juxtaposition of being a good soldier in the field and at home, but this is still a fine movie. Because it’s also a based on a true story, it’s hard to fault it for its “square” telling. In the end, I was inspired -- it just felt like well-trod territory.

Note: I knew nothing about Chris Kyle going into the film so the above is not a commentary on the validity of what I saw.
