Clint Eastwood's 'American Sniper' trailer is two minutes of heart-pounding terror



Everyone wants to love Clint Eastwood's movies. But after winning Best Director and Best Picture for 2004's "Million Dollar Baby," the actor-turned-director's self-seriousness has left his recent output feeling a little… dry. Sounding great on paper, "Flags of Our Fathers" "Invictus," "J. Edgar" didn't have the cinematic brawn to muscle Eastwood into the award season (though, it should be noted, that his riveting, un-Hollywood war movie "Letters from Iwo Jima" nabbed a Best Picture nomination). Will "American Sniper" be the one voters and critical voices finally get behind?

Yeah. I like the general thoughts i've heard about this movie. It sounds like it could be okay.

Don't want to commit to anything, but seems like the director is pretty reliable for likeable movies. So I'm okay with that.

Solid recommendation OP. I am glad you shared that with us.

Might even watch that movie when I get a chance, and maybe comment on it here! :)

Holy Shit that looks fucking awesome!!! I haven't been that excited about a trailer since "There Will Be Blood."

FYI, Interstellar is another one I'm dying to see. Comes out November 7th I think.

You can just see how conflicted the sniper is..He sees a woman and a kid, and then sees the RPG round. Do I shoot the kid or wait and see?, but if I wait and see he might kill soldiers


Damn..Im glad that isnt me on the trigger!

Clint has been pretty hit and miss lately.

I had a real hard time with Gran Torino, I liked the story, and Clint was good, but damn the Asian kids couldn't hack it in community theater. It was completely distracting.

Unfortunaly, There will be a lot of people that will pass on the flick because they have no clue who Chris Kyle is or his story.

Get off my lawn was probably the best part of that movie

I do now. Read an article about Cooper's conversation with Kyle.
