My GF saw it before it was released and said it was excellent!!!

Did you know that the real life guy was killed in 2013 at a shooting range? :-(

Yes. I read that. That was bizarre and so sad. I read about it last night when I got home.

The ending (last scene) was telling. Sienna Miller was fabulous too. I can't believe someone he was trying to help killed it. disgusting

Thanks! Don't know too much about him.

I knew he was a governor before, etc.

I'm not exactly sure why, but the whole story makes me uneasy.

The fact that he was killed by a disturbed vet at a shooting range (where he was trying to help him) is even more upsettng, IMO.

Yes...TWO men who thought that taking a soldier with PTSD to a shooting range would be a cure.

He did what few men would ever want to do or could do - he served the USA incredibly well as a soldier - but I still find the whole thing unsettling.

Re: SAW AMERICAN SNIPER YESTERDAY!

I read that CK told his wife he was taking a friend with him to the shooting range, "to have an extra set of eyes".

That says that he believed he was a target no matter where he went. I'm sure there's more to the story about the man who shot & killed the 2 men.
