Talk about extreme!

The American Sniper movie trailer is here and it's powerful to say the least. In the Clint Eastwood-directed flick, Bradley Cooper plays Chris Kyle, a real-life Navy SEAL who had the record for the highest number of sniper kills for any American. (Kyle died last year in a shooting at a gun range.)

The trailer begins with the 39-year-old actor dressed in full Navy SEAL fatigues lying perched atop a building with his sniper rifle aimed and ready to shoot. The scene seems to be set in a war-torn area of a Middle Eastern country. The city is filled with American soldiers and tanks.

Cooper first spots a middle-aged man, then he spies a woman with a young boy exiting a building. He surveys the scene and realizes the woman has a grenade, which she hands to the child.

Things get heated when Cooper has to decide which tactical move to make: shoot or don't shoot.

For the role of Kyle, Cooper packed on the pounds and lots of muscle. During filming, Cooper was photographed showing off his newly buff body in the tiniest short shorts ever!

It turns out Cooper was a little embarrassed by the revealing on-set pics. "That was unfortunately our last day of filming and it was out in the open," Cooper told E! News after filming American Sniper wrapped. "We just got killed by the paparazzi all day long and it happened to be that day where we had to wear that outfit, getting hosed down. It was just the worst."

Watch the trailer for yourself!
