Jason Hall should be ashamed for writing this buffoonish trash

Rating: 1/10 (17 August 2015)

From a cinematic standpoint, it's alright; but, as a completely fictional, propagandist slaw of mediocrity and deceit; it is a portrait of inaccuracy and slanted morals.
The most depressing aspect of this film is that it entirely deviates from the reality of what this war was about, who it served, and who was involved. The criticisms are too abundant to be expressed, but if anyone wishes to look further, here is something written by a real veteran, in unison with another seal sniper: http://inthesetimes.com/article/17597/american_sniper_veterans
It turns out Lee's character didn't die in the sweep, he died putting himself in the line of fire for his friend, the one who was shot in the eye; how tragic they would distort this reality because he was critical of the war and its motivations.
