“AMERICAN SNIPER”

A Texan joins the Navy SEALS and becomes a top sharp shooter whose war becomes personal when an opposing sniper starts picking off Americans. Too much of the film is standard-issue military service, but it’s a masterful interpretation of a man with a lot going on. Starring Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller. Directed by Clint Eastwood. (Roger Moore, Tribune News Service) Rated R for strong and disturbing war violence, and language throughout including some sexual references. At metro theaters. 2 hours, 12 minutes.
