Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who dreamed of becoming a cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed something different, something where he could express his real talent, something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. So he joined the SEALs in order to become a sniper. After marrying, Kyle and the other members of the team are called for their first tour of Iraq. Kyle's struggle isn't with his missions, but about his relationship with the reality of the war and, once returned at home, how he manages to handle it with his urban life, his wife and kids.

After 9/ 11 Man decides to help America fight terrorism and joins the navy seals as a sniper. He goes on four tours of Iraq during the war but when he returns to normal civilian life he struggles. Another film that won Oscars but that means little to me, the main and essential question that I always ask is " Is this film i'm watching entertaining and does it involve me and keep me watching"? The answer to both of those questions is "No". Film for the most part is boring and it has little emotion, Bradley Cooper is miscast. Another very average movie directed by Clint Eastwood whose films get less interesting as he gets older. No more than a average film.
