He just wanted to be a cowboy.

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2015)

This is a dynamic movie directed by Clint Eastwood, based on the memoir of Chris Kyle, with credit for writing the movie going to Jason Hall. This powerful and sometimes emotional draining movie centers on Kyle(Bradley Cooper), a United States Navy Seal, who served four tours of duty in Iraq and became the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history with over 160 confirmed kills. He finally left the military after 10 years of honorable and extraordinary service.
Eastwood always go the extra mile to present realism. Some scenes are pretty brutal. Plenty of action with memorable images. This is definitely Cooper's shining moment as an actor. Kyle just wanted to be a cowboy, but became widely known as "The Legend". There were also other names less flattering. You sit and watch this movie realizing these events happened and war isn't pretty. Get ready to grab a hankie or two, because the finale of this 2 hr plus drama will latch on to your heart and squeeze.
Sienna Miller plays Kyle's wife Taya. Others appearing: Ben Reed, Mariette Patterson, Brandon Selago Tells, Keir O'Donnell, Jake McDorman, Luke Grimes, Leonard Roberts, Kevin Lacz, Renaldo Gallegos and Sammy Sheik.
