Share

Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle’s pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and turns him into a legend. Back home to his wife and kids after four tours of duty, however, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.

PROS

  • Excellent performance by Bradley Cooper , this is definitely the best movie he has done so far .
  • The actions scenes were very realistic and intense .
  • Fantastic character development , as the movie progresses you get emotionally attached to Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) .

 

CONS

  • The movie only shows one side of the war and displays the stereotype that people think Iraq is like.

FAVORITE QUOTES

Chris Kyle’s father:  There are three types of people in this world: sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs

Chris Kyle: “I was just protecting my guys, they were trying to kill… our soldiers and I… I’m willing to meet my Creator and answer for every shot that I took.”

CONCLUSION

This is an intense , dramatic ,action packed , thrill-ride of a movie . It is more than a “War movie”  ,it is about a man’s passion to fight for his country and his brothers in arms .It is about a man’s struggles to cope with civilian life between tours of duty . He feels more at home in a war zone than he does when he is back with his family .

In my opinion Bradley Cooper deserves and Academy Award for his portrayal of Navy SEAL Sniper Chris Kyle . You really get sucked in and feel for the character as he goes through tough situations .The movie triumphs with a measured, morally complex, and utterly gripping image of what war can do to the men who fight in it .

  1. Pilizi bring local news not this which we can’t relate.how far has the case between bishop Chomba and HH on masonic allegation?

    • Jesse Ventura on Chris Kyle

      “Well, obviously the Nazis were fighting for a cause we can’t condone,” Colmes replied, as he was interrupted by Ventura:

      When they invaded a country, when they invaded Poland, when they invaded France, and if a Nazi soldier killed a hundred people that had lived there, would he be classified a hero in Germany?

      Colmes then asked “The Body” if he was comparing the mission of the United States military to that of the Nazis, to which Ventura replied: “We invaded Iraq; we were not asked in. We invaded a country, we overthrew its government, and then we killed people that lived there.”

    • @ganja farmer, you must be smoking too much of that ganja, what kind of news if it’s all about what is in zambia, you just want to comment, why not shut up if all you know is HH. You are the people who will never develop your mind set because you only surrounded with nonsense, umwana ashenda atasha nina ukunaya. I wonder what you do where you are. Grow up. To you if its not politics then it’s useless do you even know the exchange rate South African Rands to British pounds, or even the exchange rate of one kwacha to Jamaican Dollar? You need to go back to school or just shut up.
