U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle takes his sole mission—protect his comrades—to heart and becomes one of the most lethal snipers in American history. His pinpoint accuracy not only saves countless lives but also makes him a prime target of insurgents. Despite grave danger and his struggle to be a good husband and father to his family back in the States, Kyle serves four tours of duty in Iraq. However, when he finally returns home, he finds that he cannot leave the war behind.
I reckon this movie hit home for a lot of reasons. Seen through the lens of our military folks, it's a gritty and heartfelt take on the life of a real-life hero. The story keeps you rooted in reality without going over the top. Bradley Cooper really nails it as the lead, showing a side of military life that's raw and real. It's a solid watch, especially for someone like me with a soft spot for military history.
