'Legend of the American Sniper' (Blu-ray+Digital)'
(Blu-ray+Digital / NR / 2018 / Mill Creek Entertainment)

Overview: If anyone can claim the essence of the true warrior spirit, the one who sacrifices and fights for the greater good of his comrades, and the greater good of his country, it is the American sniper. The sniper, first and foremost, is a hunter. His weapon: a rifle. His prey: another human being. None have embraced this world better than the American sniper.

Blu-ray Verdict: For my money, 'Legend of the American Sniper' is an extremely well done documentary of how snipers are trained for both the military and police departments. It gets straight up into the physical and mental capabilities and how they deal with their first kills.

That said, the mainstay of the documentary can be a wee bit overwhelming, chock full of the same things being said, just in different way and from different people, but it's all a matter of perspective.

There are primarily six ex-snipers who are interviewed here and, as mentioned, they all kinda sorta same the same stuff. However, the Army Master Sergeant provides the best perspective on what a Sniper's duties are as he details, in glorious detail, what their lives are like, their training, and what war / battle conditions they could all find themselves in.

Sure, this might be a film that is of little interest to some, but to others that want to know the type of individual that completes this training and serves their county how they should be honored will find it very interesting. This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs.
