Zenwind: Movie Review: American Sniper (2014)

The film is based on Kyle’s book of the same name, and his widow had a hand in ensuring the film’s authenticity. Eastwood’s direction is expertly done, and Bradley Cooper’s acting is his very best yet. The film’s editing is extremely tight with no wasted moments. It is one hell of a story.

This excellent novel is one of the few by Ira Levin that was never made into a movie. (Not quite anyway; see below.)
