Clint Eastwood’s Best Picture nominee profiles the deadliest sniper in US history, managing to both honor heroism and lament its psychological cost. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) serves four harrowing tours in Iraq, making 160 confirmed kills. Cooper embodies Kyle's confidence, intensity and vulnerability, earning a Best Actor nod. “Eastwood's impeccably crafted action sequences so catch us up in the chaos of combat we are almost not aware that we're watching a film at all” (LA Times).
