"The Leagend"

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2015)

I went into this movie knowing only how Chris Kyle's story was going to end so I wasn't surprised by that. What did catch me off guard is how emotionally intense this film is. I found myself at times forgetting that it was Bradley Cooper on the screen and not the actual Chris Kyle. This is definitely a role that has helped bring him out of his goofy roles that he usually portrays and shines a new light on his talents. This is definitely an Oscar worthy performance much more then Silver Linings Playbook which I also enjoyed. It honestly gave me a new perspective on Bradley as a serious actor in the same way Dallas Buyers Club did for Matthew McConaughey. When the film was over you could feel the emotions that filled the theater. Everyone was in complete silence. All the actors and especially those portraying the Marines and Navy Seals did an outstanding job. It is definitely not a movie for the weak. I truly enjoyed it.
