Emotional and full of intense action. 7/10

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2015)

Review: I really didn't know that this was based on a real person called Chris Kyle who got killed by another war veteran who was suffering with post traumatic stress. When I saw what happened to him at the end of the movie, it did touch me because he lived through 4 tours of duty and killed 160 enemies which saves many people's life's. It does seem more like a documentary than a Hollywood blockbuster, so you feel like your in the heart of the action which gave the movie intensity and anticipation. Bradley Cooper wouldn't have been my first choice to play this role but he done a brilliant job as the American Sniper who had difficulties with his personal life whilst serving his country. Once he decided to call it a day, he still had problems with every day to day life but you could see that his family life had improved. That's why the ending really touched me and I have to say that a Clint Eastwood done a great job with such a delicate story. Its only been 2 years since he was murdered so this amazing story meant a lot to many people, especially his wife and children. From an entertainment point of view, I did enjoy the film and the action scenes were shot extremely well. The love story was also put together well and it gives you many different elements to Chris Kyle who achieved so much in his 38 years on earth. Enjoyable!
Round-Up: What an emotional story! Bradley Cooper was last seen in Serena and American Hustle so I wasn't expecting to see him in such a manly movie about a war hero. After watching the documentary about the making of the movie, he really did give this movie his all and he spent some time with Chris Kyle's widow, with Clint Eastwood, so they could get this picture exactly right. Judging by the money that it made at the box office, it's obvious that many people were touched by the story and it always helps when you've got Bradley Cooper and Clint Eastwood on board. Its hard to believe that Eastwood can still pull out major blockbusters at the age of 85 and he still has 2 movies in the pipeline. Bradley Cooper hasn't stopped working since his major role in the Hangover in 2009 and with his films grossing over 2 and a half billion dollars, he has definitely become a major league player in Hollywood. Anyway, this movie is definitely worth a watch for its intensity and emotional storyline which has been put together well by Clint Eastwood.
Budget: $60million Worldwide Gross: $545million
I recommend this movie to people who are into their action/drama movies about the true story of Chris Kyle who saved many people's life's on the battlefield but sadly was murdered by another veteran who was suffering with stress. 7/10
