Imagine my surprise when my own son mentioned that sometimes he feels more comfortable hanging out with veterans two or three times his age than with civilians!
Yes, and does God want that? I doubt it, it is not healthy.

A good and honest Review.
I read it the same way, this is not really a war film.

I thought “The Railway Man” dealt with the same issues and did it better, but this is a good film.

Great review, I concur. My family saw the movie last night as well. Eastwood does a fantastic job.

Good for him, and you to be raising a son who keeps common sense values at the forefront, and appreciates what the past can bring in understanding where the future can/may head.

Well done Dad

Eastwood should have been nominated, but speaking at a Republican convention has its price. This is a masterpiece.

The weekend numbers haven’t come out yet, but as of Friday, the movie’s gross ($180m) is triple its production budget ($60m). As an important side note, the movie’s estimates have been consistently below its “actuals”, which means it is following a slower downward curve from opening than is typical for a popular big budget picture.

Mark Dice has an interesting take on “American Sniper.”
