Bradley Cooper is outstanding as Navy Seal Chris Kyle. Sienna Miller gives a strong performance of the wife left behind. The Clint Eastwood directing and the work of the editor are excellent.
After a strong set up there is a flashback to the life growing up followed by the usual harsh training regime scenes. Before too long and we are back to the the nerve testing life of a sniper.
If you thought Clint Eastwood music scores were meager previously with three notes, here there are no notes. Some of the most effective scenes are those when Cooper is on the phone with his wife at home.
It's a tough movie about a guy doing a tough job. Most of the time he is providing cover for soldiers on the ground. Kyle was a legend and hero to those ground units. Family life was difficult for the tightly wound Seal.
It's a powerful movie that plays well on the big screen with big sound. See it in a theater.
