Although watching a leftie work that bolt(& around the scope to boot!) made my eyes hurt.One other interesting thing about the sniper I noticed was that if you listened to him working the bolt,gun in frame or not,you could hear him bobble it a few times.Not nice & smooth.Just like what I would expect an adrenalin pumped man to do.
I don't cry at movies generally,but the first time I watched both opening scenes,& put them together,it just about stopped my heart.I so wanted to take my Grandfather to see that in the theater.As he was in Hospice dying,we never had the chance..
