Overview

U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle takes his sole mission—protect his comrades—to heart and becomes one of the most lethal snipers in American history. His pinpoint accuracy not only saves countless lives but also makes him a prime target of insurgents. Despite grave danger and his struggle to be a good husband and father to his family back in the States, Kyle serves four tours of duty in Iraq. However, when he finally returns home, he finds that he cannot leave the war behind.

Viewing Notes

Enough time has passed. Overall enjoyed this movie especially Cooper and Miller. The pacing is very good. If the profanity was removed this feels like a made-for-TV biopic that might be a movie of the week. Even has all the commercial breaks in the right places. Nothing wrong with that but really nothing more than a well-made story of this man during his service and how he deals with it.

I want to believe that Chris Kyle was a good man with good intentions. I wish his “legend” hadn’t gotten the better of him to embellish the facts surrounding his life. He didn’t need any of those fabricated stories to enhance his accomplishments. I kinda get the feeling that even with everything that he did do during his service he never felt it was enough. Maybe in his mind he just wanted people to believe he never stopped serving his country.
