Another representation of a war film (the other is The Imitation Game) in the Oscars race and directed by Clint Eastwood.
Bradley Cooper nominated for his role as Chris Kyle, America's sniper hero. All best actors nominated in this year's Academy awards are based on real beings with the exception of Michael Keaton. Cooper who is on his 3rd consecutive nomination delivered an intense performance as the grief-stricken hero. I have yet to watch David in Selma and see if Bradley is indeed a better replacement on the 5th spot unfortunately, he will not win.
Although I must say that it's not as ground-breaking as Zero Dark Thirty but then again, maybe it's not one of the objectives of this film. We noticed very small "surprises" such as the accent of Cooper which only occurred during the last scenes of the film, the baby robot, and I did not know that you can call soldiers directly.
All in all, it's within the rank of Fury but far from Saving Private Ryan, Zero Dark Thirty, etc.
