Astonishingly good!

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2015)

I do not like war movies, but this one met my expectations at how a Navy Seal is to perform in war. I watched this film without a fidget.
I believe in fighting for freedom. Anyone on earth who terrorizes and murders people for any reason, should be shot.
This true portrayal of Chris Kyle, our "American Sniper" Navy Seal, was clearly fighting for freedom. Chris was portrayed as a very serious and focused soldier who certainly had his wits about him. He was depicted in youth, as an excellent shooter, especially of "anything that moves." A good talent to have for a soldier. What Eastwood portrayed was that Chris Kyle did not kill a person unless he was extremely sure he had to, and he took his job as protecting the world from terrorists in Iraq very seriously.
I realize there are people out there who do not understand why American soldiers are in Iraq. Unfortunately, there are radical Muslims who call non-Muslims, "infidels" if we are not following the Koran and Allah. These radicals want "infidels" dead. There are many Muslims who do not feel this way. So we are only dealing with the radicals who want "infidels" dead.
Clint Eastwood, and his excellent crew, and especially his long-time editor, Joel Cox, did a fantastic job on this movie.
And Bradley Cooper astonished me with his acting in this role. He was A-number 1.
Since I am female, there was not enough "relationship" story in this picture. However, I still rate this movie a big 10.
