By all accounts, sniper Chris Kyle was a bloodthirsty, racist c*nt so its a disappointment to see that, in whitewashing his life story for propaganda purposes, Clint Eastwood has not only robbed his film of anything remotely resembling character but given poor Bradley Cooper next to nothing to work with. Combat-wise, its a bit dreary with the fire-fights perfunctory rather than exciting and leaving Tom Sterns capable cinematography to do all the heavy lifting. Its worth a watch but I feel a warts-and-all version would have been much more enjoyable. File under Heartbreak Ridge. 5/10
