This movie is mostly a collection of interviews of old retired guys who used to be snipers. If you want to hear that stuff, go to your local VFW headquarters with some beer money, and you can hear all of it you like. If you want anything authentic, “forget about it.”* There is one scene of a sniper shot, and that is done with an actor, not a stunt man. He squats in the high grass waving an AK around and then flops on his back with his arms spread out. A pathetic effort by B movie standards. And they use that scene over and over. They use a lot of footage over and over, actually. There is lots of free footage of training from the Marines and the Army, and a good deal of self serving babble from DOD sources. Most of the speakers are not at all well spoken, but then, they probably all did this for free, just to be in a movie. The flag waves at the beginning of each segment. We are told that the greatest warrior in history is the American sniper. No possibility that anyone good is in the British army, or the Russian, etc. They could easily have given some spotters some of those nifty video cameras like the FBI uses, where you have a spotting scope with video. Embed a few of those with the sniper teams in Iraq, and show what it is really like. But why travel when you can make trash at home? * Johnnie Depp, as Joe Pistogne in the movie Donnie Brasco, but you knew that.Read full review
basic review of the history of snipers and their inception. to the point facts. narrator is a bit dry but the info is good for folks looking to learn more about snipers and how they are stationed with military units and the methodology used with them. average dvd not as enjoyable as say the discovery channel would put together,but as I stated for someone wanting to understand basics it was fine.
Too much time showing history of american sniper. the fanatics of the theme are looking for new techniques and deserves to see modern tactics
