Well, if I helped you review this movie, I'd let you use my real name! Unless you insisted on a psuedonym. Call me Interdimensional Sant Claus!
I didn't know what to make of the movie when I first saw the ads. For all I knew it was a gritty, realistic war film, or a flag waving 'Murica! movie. I quickly found out it was the latter, and nothing you've put forward in this review surprises me in the least.
Apparently the real-life guy this movie is based on was a pretty gnarly character, calling his victims and Arabs in general by pretty derogatory names. Not surprising. Soldiers like that get into that mindset so they can kill easily. It's where you have to take yourself if you want to kill in cold blood. (Real life soldiers explained this process to me in detail.)
There was also a Facebook meme going around. This guy sniped at more than 100 people dead, apparently. But the meme brought up a Finnish sniper, who has more than 500 recorded kills, basically calling the American guy a total nancy boy for only having around 130. (Or whatever the number is. I forget.) Basically it was a pissing contest between two people who make the average serial killer look like a cheap mugger. Amazing where that mindset thign can take you, especially when you hear fox news watchers defend the movie.
