I generally don't go the movies at the theater, I'm a cheap SOB, but had planned on seeing this and when a couple of racing buddies called and asked if I wanted to join them, I did and it was worth it. Have never been in a theater that was so quiet, especially when leaving.

The final scene where he playfully points the revolver at his wife is pretty hard to believe.

Yea, people raised with weapons don't do that, and the movie started off with his father instilling respect for the weapon (had I ever done that when I was hunting with my Father, all hell would have broken loose, as I learned that respect way before handling a gun in the woods and would bet, in real live, he did as well) One of the 1st things my father taught me is that there is no such thing as an unloaded gun, and I have a real hard time believing that someone who had killed as many people as Kyle had, and felt the pain when he pulled that trigger, would play with a real weapon like portrayed in the movie, was that in the book??
