About this movie

U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname “Legend”. However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world. Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the spirit of the SEAL creed to “leave no one behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.

I'm gonna be the only white English American on this review list to trash this title. Shooting people from afar, while technically invisible has no honour what so ever. This guy is a glorified camper and his bad mouthing Jesse ventura was innapropiate and without truth. Say what u want about soldiers... a lot of them deserve honour... but this guy... He's a typical bully with a hard on for wiping out life. Remember the idiot in the tower from 'inglorious b-stards' .... that's this guy.

Fantasy and fiction and based on lies. America saves the world yet again by invading a country killing everyone including woman and children and then saying they are there saviour's. Sick of this american tyrannical bullshit...it you do not believe its lies and deceit just check out the facts and why he was then murdered.

Not believable....too big a subject for a film like this....its not entertaining, the subject is simply too graphic for that. Its not informative....the true professionalism of SF operatives, in training or ops just is not there! The man, sadly the actor came across as a bit wooden and predictable. The story, too much crammed into a couple of hours. Sorry Clint, normally a big fan, but this would have been better left!
