American Sniper is based off a true story and chronicles the life of Chris Kyle, a man who lived two lives, one here at home and one fighting for us in Iraq. It’s a remarkable story, one that definitely should not be missed. It’s been in selected theaters since Christmas Day, but for us who aren’t lucky enough to be included in those areas, we will finally get the chance to see it next week. Here’s a closer look into American Sniper.

Official synopsis:

Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle’s pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and turns him into a legend. Back home to his wife and kids after four tours of duty, however, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.

I actually didn’t/don’t want to watch these. I haven’t watched any new trailers, clips, spots, or any other type of footage because I want it all saved for the theater. It’s the movie I’ve been looking forward to watching for the last number of weeks, and now that it’s only a week away I’m staying away from anything American Sniper.

American Sniper opens on December 25th, 2014. Directed by Clint Eastwood starring Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Luke Grimes, Kyle Gallner, , Jake McDorman, and Brian Hallisay.
