Kyle and Taya's babies are obviously prop dolls. Although the daughter doll's hand was CG-animated to move while Sienna Miller was holding it, Bradley Cooper can be seen subtly moving its arm with his thumb to make it seem like it is moving. The filmmakers acknowledged this after numerous reviews noted the fake baby, with screenwriter Jason Hall saying, "Real baby #1 showed up with a fever. Real baby #2 was [a] no show." See more »

Best joke the movie told is that the super hardcore trained, specially equipped top shot of the US military is still less capable than the evil, blood thirsty, cliché terrorist with his centuries old rifle. Fun fact terrorist hits 3 guys, super great sniper only 1 despite having an advantage in technology, training and what not. What an incredible bad testimony to the US military, to honor such a failure and child slaughtering maniac as a "hero".
Also the movie appears to be one of those super long commercials to lure young folks into serving in the army, fighting wars no one knows why, obediently serving the cash money brothers from wall street.
Oh yeah i forgot: Allah Hu Akhbar! Stay salty NA!
