Another war movie

Rating: 6/10 (17 February 2015)

Did we really need this movie? To be honest, no. It is based on a true story, about a man named Chris Kyle who goes to Iraq and becomes known as a legend for being able to shoot targets from large distances and having multiple successful shots. I don't know whether there's a documentary about this man's life, but if there is one, I hope it's more accurate than this so called movie. I do admire Clint Eastwood for some of his previous work behind and in front of the camera, but this one is not to my liking. The entire story is somewhat exaggerated and a bit fabricated, although it's based on the main character's autobiography. I don't think this movie did justice to Chris Kyle. The only positive aspect is the acting, especially Bradley Cooper's, who has done an amazing job for which he is deservingly nominated for an Oscar.
