It's in my Netflix queue. We very much want to see it. I love Netflix. As soon as I send my movie back, I get the next one in my queue. That's our big Saturday night at the movies.

JUD--- I gave one of my kids and his family a year's subscription to Netflix streaming. I have never had it and I got it for them because I had no idea what to give them as a family gift. They absolutely love it, even the 2 year old, and said they cannot believe they went all the years without it.

It was just released Nationwide this past week, so I guess (you never know), it might be a little while before it comes out on Video.

My middle daughter lives in Florida and saw it at night (the movie theatre was filled).

She said (before I asked her) how strange it was that when the movie ended. There was total silence. No one even spoke to each other. Everyone just got up and silently walked out of the theatre.

That's EXACTLY how the audience reacted when I went. I have seen many interviews with his wife (she said it was exactly how her husband was). She said even the words (many of them) were verbatim.

I've never had the patience to wait for a movie. I usually see one's I want to see either the first day it's in the theatre or right after.

I treated a couple I know to the movies, popcorn and then took them to dinner afterward. It was nice sharing this with them. They are good to me. The guy is a good friend of mine. He'd not been to the movies in many years.

My DH and I have plans to see this next week. I can't imagine all that Taya Kyle has had to endure, both with her husband's deployment and all that happened since, including what happened with the slimebag Jesse Ventura. She is one strong woman.

I am not a fan of Jesse Ventura but I agree with the jury that found in his favor. Because someone is a military hero does not mean you can write things that are not true. Though he did not identify him in the book, he did on air.

There is a lengthy thread about this on VP.

Just returned from this movie (in Imax).WOW!! Pre movie the theater had veterans stand....applause went wild. After the movie....complete silence.I felt so almost disrespectful to talk. I was walking out of a movie and going about my normal night while people ,like Chris Kyle were fighting and dying for me to be able to do so. Anyway... Bradley Cooper was phenomenal. Sienna Miller was really good. Eastwood can direct a movie!!!#

Who knows what took place becaues it is still on going

If Ventura was a gentleman he might have took it to court to prove a point, but to take money out mouths of the wife and children shows just what kind of person Ventura is, it is not like is hurting for a place to live...

I viewed the movie with a different take. Sure the soldier had strains put on his marriage but he knew his wife was strong (that didn't come out a lot in the movie). He did what he did for this nation which he knows is the best country in the world and to SAVE lives - the lives of the other soldiers fighting in the middle east. He states that in the story when he says he felt badly that he couldn't have saved more lives.

The tragedy is the end of a hero, a patriot, a soldier, a part of history. Someone who stood for something, someone with courage and a god given talent, someone unselfish and who had love for his fellow man.

Just saw it today. It was silent in theater after it ended. My son is s Marine who deployed twice to Iraq in that same time frame. I can only Say I'm glad I didn't see this then.. I couldn't sleep for 4 yrs as it was. I thought It was a very good movie...sad story!!

I saw this movie last week and I liked it a lot.

In discussing this with the 2 women I went to see it with, we gleaned: this was not as much about war or killing the enemy as it was about the effect his job had on him and his family. While I have always held our military in high esteem, I had a renewed sense of urgency in obtaining the care our vets so rightly deserve. It is an overwhelming problem that deserves better than they are getting IMO.
