Extremely Biased Movie

Rating: 6/10 (1 March 2015)

As a standalone movie, this is a great film by a great director. However, the ideals it pushes shows just how ignorant the creators truly were. All of the Islamic and Iraqi soldiers are portrayed as enemies and "savages" to use Kyle's own words. A much better movie about the themes portrayed in this movie would be "The Hurt Locker" where it does not focus on the good guys or bad guys, but rather the life of a soldier and the trauma he/she experiences because of war. Overall, this could just be seen as a piece of American propaganda and sadly so. I was expecting so much more from Clint Eastwood and Bradley Cooper, but this film let me down because of its overly patriotic themes.
