I saw it Friday night. I've never been that touched by a movie.Much the same crowd response as when I watched this incredible, touching and thought provoking movie with this one exception; the sounds of sniffles including mine were drowned out by a well deserved hand of applause. Don't miss it.
What happened at the theater was a first for me.
There wasn't a peep (other than sniffles) heard during the entire show.
At the end of the show, nobody moved until the last credit was shown & the lights came up.
Even as people where leaving, still not a sound but sniffles.
Chris is a true American Hero. He wasn't in it for glory but to serve his country and fellow soldiers. The men & women who serve deserve so much more than what our government provides. Originally Posted by ERwhynot
Smattering of applause for one of the climactic scenes, other than that not much. I lost it at the end knowing the outcome. I think 95% of the theater didn't know he was murdered.

I'm a Iraqi war vet. I was a combat adviser lived with the Iraqis for a year. I can tell you Clint Eastwood gets it. There where times during the movie that I thought I was watching myself. Barely made it to the car before I broke down and cried like a baby. If you see the movie pay attention to when he is home. The war scenes are exciting and we'll done. But the scenes while home are even better. Originally Posted by SutphenI was never with a regular infantry unit. This is completely foreign to me. I need to see this movie to understand what snipers do, beyond the obvious.
