Stunning biographical sketch

Rating: 7/10 (21 June 2015)

This is a biographical portrait of Chris Kyle, a Navy seal who had the highest kill total as a sniper and served in the Iraq war.
Bradley Cooper gives the best performance of his career as stoic, self-assured Kyle and Sienna Miller, who plays his wife, does a good job herself.
It's a well made docudrama that really conveys a powerful message overlooking all of the gun battles and that is: take care of your own; guard your flock, help your brothers. That is what Chris Kyle did to the end. Even when his duty ended, he was still assisting victims of the war and giving them hope and courage.
Clint Eastwood does a fine job of depicting Kyle's 4 tours in Iraq. This film really speaks to the trauma and difficulties war veterans have and sends a message raising awareness to help soldiers who were wounded in battle.
Very good movie. Sad story.
