Rowan611 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I enjoyed the movie, was somewhat disappointed with the bass, but thought the rest of the mix was good. Everything was used well, just not a lot of low end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxedocivic Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Watched this last night. Quite good but nothing mind blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nube Posted June 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I thought this was a big step back for Clint as a director. Perhaps the script was lacking, but the director should really be able to tell a story and make the audience believe and care about the character. This film didn't really do it for me, and the first half of the movie was disjointed, with none of the big emotional moments set up by anything prior to them. While it wasn't a terrible movie, I wasn't really convinced at all. I even forgot until the very end that I knew the story - that's how ho-hum it was, for me. My gf had been asking to watch this one since the New Year, but she was fairly disappointed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxedocivic Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I agree on the disjointed beginning. My wife and I watch a special feature and apparently the family/love stuff was brought in after the fact (Chris' murder) which I think led to a rushed character development. The only interaction we got out of Chris and Thea was the bar scene. We did find we were able to get "the point" of the movie out of it, which was to remind us how difficult war is on the individual and the family. I felt like I could understand his PTSD and why going to the range with vets was therapeutic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen it at the movies and could not wait to see it again at home! I mean there is only so much you can stuff in a 2 hour movie. There is so much to cover about his life and I think they did a good job with that from his childhood, to his wife and to his time in the military and even some time with him chasing another sniper. But movies are no different that speakers, you have to watch and give an opinion and there are different reviews all over the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
