First TV Spot for Bradley Cooper’s AMERICAN SNIPER - “Lethal”
The first TV spot for director Clint Eastwood’s intense looking war thriller American Sniper has been released. The spot offers us some new footage from the movie in which Bradley Cooper plays Chris Kyle, who has been labeled the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history.
The reviews have been mixed for this movie, but there’s a combination of things surrounding this film that I really like. On top of being a huge fan of Eastwood and Cooper, I also enjoy films that have a military setting. I’ve been looking forward to this movie since it was first announced, and nothing can keep me from being excited about it.
U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname “Legend.” However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world.
Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the SEAL creed to “leave no man behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.
The movie also stars Sienna Miller, Jake McDorman, Luke Grimes, Navid Negahban, and Keir O’Donnell. It's set to be released in theaters on January 16th, 2015.
