A deeply moving war film

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2017)

This film about deadly American Seal Sniper Chris Kyle is a deep look into the psyche of a trained legal killer. In an Iraq plagued with ambushes and IEDs the US forces are often sitting ducks for the ISIS militia operators. Kyle sets about providing cover for the army patrols.
Bradley Cooper executes a convincing role in this very realistic film. He shows a deep understanding of the pain suffered by men experiencing war memories.
Since this film is based on a real life experience the ending is a though it has been written into the screenplay. Kyle is helping a PTSD sufferer adjust to civilian life when he is gunned down at a rifle range. One of America's greatest heroes id taken from us too early. This makes me as a viewer reflect on how fragile our hold on life is.
This is one of the best war movies about Americans at war that I have seen.
