the reason this movie is getting trashed

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2015)

This is a great movie in all respects: script, acting, direction, special effects. You are gripped from the opening scene and there are no parts that drag. You have to wonder where director Eastwood found a set that looked like an urban war zone in Iraq. Yes, the language is salty, but that's the way men in combat talk.
The only reason I can see for it getting so many bad reviews is that the reviewers identify themselves more closely with people like Michael Moore (McCain would call him "low life scum") than patriotic manly men like Chris Kyle. Chris was a genuine American hero and this movie portrays him accurately.
This movie will help you appreciate what sacrifices American service men and women and their families make to make this such a comfortable place in which to live.
