Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Jake McDorman, Luke Grimes
Revealing mistake: When Chris and a companion are on a rooftop in the midst of clothes lines with sheets hanging to dry, all the sheets have creases indicating they had been recently unfolded or removed from original packaging before being hung on the lines.
Revealing mistake: About 3/4 through the movie, Bradley Cooper and his wife are talking in a bedroom or nursery. He takes his daughter and holds her - the baby is clearly fake.
Factual error: Chris Kyle did not make Chief after his first deployment. He made Chief during his fourth deployment.
Taya Renae Kyle: You're my husband, you're the father of my children. Even when you're here, you're not here. I see you, I feel you, but you're not here.
Trivia: Chris Kyle did not shoot a child as portrayed in the movie. That was put in to make it more dramatic about the choices he had to make as a sniper. He did shoot a woman, however. He had stated that he didn't think he could ever kill a child.

Chosen answer: Chris has "shooter's strawberries" on his elbows, which are red callouses caused by lying in the sniper's position for long periods. He notices the same marks on the elbows of the father, and realizes that he too is a military sniper.
