The focus on Chris Kyle and how the job of sniper changed him.

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2015)

I am not a native Texan, but having lived in Texas almost 30 years makes me almost a native. When Chris Kyle was murdered in 2013 by a war veteran he was trying to help it made big news in these parts. So it was with that in mind my wife and I went into viewing this movie.
In summary it is a super-good movie, thanks to Clint Eastwood who directed and supplied some of the music, and Bradley Cooper who did such a fine job portraying Chris Kyle. It shows the difficulty these young men and women operate under in a foreign land to fight terrorism. It can't help change you, and most of the core story here is how it changed Kyle, and his ability to deal with the real world and fit back into his family after his last tour of duty.
It is based on his own book, but some of the incidents have been questioned, and surely some changes were made when developing the script for the movie. Still it is a very gripping drama, as much of the action is portrayed as what the sniper sees through his scope as he surveys the comings and goings below his usual high perch atop a building.
Bradley Cooper is super as Chris Kyle and Sienna Miller is super as his wife Taya Kyle.
