I am looking forward to "American Sniper", but, I enjoyed both RED and RED2.
The reasons? ENTERTAINMENT! My wife of 45 years, is an emotionally anti-gun person, due to the unsuccessful suicide attempt by our teen-age son. 25 years later, he is doing well!
I figure she is entitled. But, she does like Helen Mirren, with her being so elegant and all. The fur coat with the many built in holsters caused her the big eye, and she enjoyed Helen in the white evening gown, operating the .50 Browning in RED! She did enjoy those two movies.
Reality?
We were not raised with reality...Gene Autry westerns, Roy Rogers and a bad guy fencing with Winchester '94s on horseback in the middle of Southern California traffic,
The Durango Kid, Have Gun, will Travel, Gunsmoke...I could go on... and John Malkovich does crazy so well!
And...there isn't a single one of us who hasn't thought in his secret place..."Yeah...maybe I could shoot that thing out of the air... Right?
One of the really old GOOD ones is SERGEANT YORK, and I'd have to include BULLIT, if only for the car chase, and airport scenes.
It's worth the trip...especially when you get a Senior discount!
