Watch: Clint Eastwood takes Bradley Cooper to war in 'American Sniper' trailer

 

Los Angeles: A new trailer of Bradley Cooper-starring film 'American Sniper' has landed online, highlighting his character as he juggles his roles as a sniper and a family man with a young child. The two-minute video sees Cooper's character, US Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, getting emotional. The trailer starts with someone interviewing Kyle about his record as the most lethal sniper in US military.

 

Scenes of his wedding, his days with family, his service in Iraq and him making difficult decision when a boy takes a grenade launcher and aims it at the US troops are also shown. We see flashes of Kyle’s life, but the nail biting trailer is organized around one very specific wartime engagement that illustrates the moral dilemma inherent in the job Kyle did so well.  

 

 

Based on 'American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in US Military History', the war movie directed by Clint Eastwood also stars Luke Grimes, Kyle Gallner and Jake McDorman among others. The film hits US theatres on Christmas Day.
