Boy oh boy...I'll quickly get my review out of the way here...this was, BY FAR, the best movie I've seen this award season. As the credits began to roll at the end, there wasn't a dry eye in the house, including my own. Powerful, intense and incredible. This movie is going to stick with me for a while.
For starters, I didn't know much about Chris Kyle...I knew how he died, and I knew he was know as the most deadly sniper in American history. This movie gives you his life on a silver platter...you watch his military life and you watch his home life, and you watch as the roller coaster ride goes up and down between the two. It's very eye opening.
Something I didn't know that is that Bradley Cooper and Clint Eastwood were both working on the script BEFORE Kyle died. This gave the movie an extra sense of connection to me...and truly, pushed me over the edge in terms of respect and appreciation of it.
I won't get into the plot, as it's all out there to read if you wish to...but I heavily recommend you watch this movie. It's moving and the performances within it are truly award winning. This is one of those rare MUST see movies for every person...regardless of your film taste.
