Here is my take on the movie after watching the matinee.
If you are an american and support our soldiers, then this movie is a must see.
It demonstrates the American Soldier and the excruciating decisions they make everyday to save the lives of their brothers and the future proetection of innocents.
Sometimes it means killing a kid or a woman, who are very unnatural enemies and conflict the concience.
Then there is the deep seated desire, to even focus on chasing a killer to the exclusion of all else.
It also shows a man who struggled with coming home and his job but, ultimately though he knew he had to go home.
Home to his family and to help vets with PTSD.
It has a different tempo not unlike other sniper movies but, this is a real story about real events and a real man.
We saw it this afternoon great picture time went fast. Cooper did an outstanding performance of CK and looked like him. One part of the movie puzzled me and that’s when he, never mind I’ll wait till more see it the film he was a great warrior, get on Craft Int’l and buy his hat to support Taya.
I knew Chris, my son was in school with him and played little league on a team with him. The film has special meaning to me. I also knew Chad Mayfield that died with Chris.
All true, and it showed how military service is traumatic all around.

Can’t wait to see it tomorrow!
I had considered puttimg together a FReeper Tx Cowboy shoot on the range where they died. but it seemed a bit morbid/meloncholy at the time rather than a memorial.
Did you like the movie? (Please, no plot spoilers...)
Haven’t seen it yet...but that’s in the trailer...glad you mentioned that...it does sound like a directorial miss step.
Other details were great.
Eastwood got the Soviet scope reticles correct.
I plan to see it tomorrow afternoon or Sunday afternoon
That was also in the book. Taya and Chris talked often on his sat phone.
Wasn’t he at Waco, too?
yes I did, very much.
The spoiler was what we all knew was coming.
Crazy on many levels.
I don’t know what that Soviet scope thing is...but glad that detail is correct.
Won’t see it this weekend, too many people at the theatre... :)
Is there anything really gorey? Not like combat scenes, but anything torture/sadistic? I’d like to see this movie but I can’t deal with those types of scenes.
I don’t think so. Don’t know.
More than once, I have seen FReepers blame Clinton for Ruby Ridge, so devoted are they to the fiction that the Bushes are “patriots.”
At Ruby Ridge, and Waco, and Oklahoma City, the “U.S.” government murdered innocent Americans. Most Americans got the message: Shut up and conform.
It’s a good film, I just get overly critical of films.
