Somewhat Entertaining but Brutally Dishonest

Rating: 2/10 (22 January 2015)

Great action movie but unfortunately there's barely a shred of historical accuracy to this film. It somehow links the embassy bombings in Kenya and 9/11 to the Iraq War, then skips a few more years to show Al Qaeda in Iraq. It completely leaves out the fact that Al Qaeda took over Iraq and now runs most of it THANKS to the Iraq War. It leaves out the fact that "wmds" were the reason we went to Iraq and this later turned out to be a manufactured reason. In reality, Chris Kyle basically installed ISIL in power in Iraq. Does that still make him the good guy? The movie shows him as a "victim" and essentially all Iraqis are evil or faceless. This is basically just a war propaganda movie along the lines of something North Korea would release - but better special effects.
