Trivia
To gain 40+ pounds, Bradley Cooper ate around 6,000 calories a day, which calculates to eating a meal every 55 minutes. Cooper added that it was not fun consuming those calories since his meals were usually in the form of bland protein shakes he had to choke down between weight lifting. Using his own trainer, he worked out four hours a day for several months. Cooper also took twice-daily lessons with a vocal coach, and spent many hours studying footage of Chris Kyle. When it came to pointing a rifle, Cooper trained with Navy S.E.A.L. sniper Kevin Lacz, who served with Kyle and was a consultant on this movie.

Errores
A SEAL would not be allowed to informally lead another unit's breaching operation, even if it was to "show them a thing or two to keep everyone [alive]". A breaching & room clearing operation is a finely tuned and intensively drilled routine, where each individual knows and performs his specific role relative to the group. An outsider, even a SEAL, inserting themselves into the middle of such a delicate operation with no prior familiarization would jeopardize the safety of the entire team and would never be allowed.

Citas
Chris Kyle: I'm not redneck; I'm Texan!
Taya Renae Kyle: What's the difference?
Chris Kyle: We ride horses, they ride their cousins.

Créditos curiosos
Footage of the real Chris Kyle's memorial service is featured during the first half of the end credits, while the instrumental "The Funeral" by Ennio Morricone plays on the soundtrack. Following the music and the footage, the rest of the end credits play in complete silence.

Clint does Call of Duty

Clint did this instead of Spielberg apparently.

Compared to Clints' superb Gran Torino why the horrible empty feeling after watching this.

Film wise great set pieces, sound and action. Also graphically depicts from a single sided point of view anyway, the horror of modern warfare.

Directorially it has plenty of set piece sequences seemingly from video games such as endless spawning enemies to be machine gunned / sniped from various angles.

Cooper & Miller do their bits admirably as cut scene fillers but did we care? Iraqis were "savages". 150 confirmed deaths presented as a game score. Funnily enough the most prominent death: that of our protagonist gets no time at all.

This could / should have been the Deer Hunter of our time but didn't even deliver the Post Traumatic War syndrome message meaningfully.
