 So, war is beautiful even if it hurts, and we will return to singing and letting nurses make love to us.

 Clint Eastwood is a decent director when he adapts stories where his fascist, macho, impulsive, vengeful, and reactionary side doesn’t emerge, but here he misses the mark.

American Sniper is a realistic and engaging war film based on a true story, focusing on a decorated sniper's internal conflict. However, the reviewer criticizes Clint Eastwood for pushing a problematic patriotic philosophy that glorifies war despite its brutality. While action fans may enjoy it, the moral message is seen as detestable. The review recommends Eastwood's other works like Mystic River and Letters from Iwo Jima instead. Explore American Sniper's intense action and decide if its patriotism resonates with you.
