Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Woodyanders Rugged Marine Sgt. Brandon Beckett (a solid and likeable performance by Chad Michael Collins), the son of legendary sniper Tom Beckett, decides to track down the sniper who ambushed and killed off all the members of his squad during an abortive rescue mission in the South African Congo. Director Claudio Fah, working from a tight script by John Fasano, keeps the enjoyable and engrossing story moving along at a brisk pace, maintains a serious gritty tone throughout, stages the thrilling action set pieces with skill and flair, and delivers a handy helping of graphic gore. The always smooth and charismatic Billy Zane makes a welcome return to the series as ace sniper and instructor Richard Miller. Moreover, there are sound supporting contributions from Annabel Wright as the sassy Lt. Ellen Abramowitz, Justin Strydom as the lethal Vincent "The Italian" Masiello, Kayla Privett as feisty teenager Kelli Van Brundt, and Patrick Lyster as the helpful Martin Chandler. The pounding score by Mark Sayfritz and Marcus Trumpp hits the stirring spot. Lorenzo Senatore's slick cinematography provides a pleasing polished look. A bang-up little B-grade flick.

akitchener-06529 I enjoyed "Sniper: Reloaded" more than Sniper 3. Chad Michael Collins as Brandon Beckett takes over as the franchise's leading man, and learns his sniping craft under Richard Miller (Zane), which is ironic, given that Miller learned the tricks of the trade from Beckett's father in the original movie.This is your typical action movie: some nice action scenes, a few plot twists and a satisfying conclusion, with some expected wooden acting. Definitely not as bad a film as some reviews I've read here would have you believe.

wsawyer2 I had no idea what to expect, so it was not possible to be 'disappointed'. In many cases the acting was simply god-awful. Chad Mitchell was as wooden as an oak tree, and Annabel Wright was simply dreadful. But, Billy Zane was fun - much better in this movie than in the original 'Sniper'. The action was engaging at times - at least during the shooting segments - and I loved the sniper scenes. I presume that was a Barrett .50 caliber in use at the end, always an impressive weapon. I watched the movie with a glass of good bourbon, in front of a pleasant fire, with the wife and one daughter dozing nearby. Not a bad movie under those circumstances.

killer1h Have you ever seen a movie and wondered "if someone were going to ruin this type of movie how would they do it?" Yup you guessed it this is in fact that movie. First after watching this movie I truly wondered if it were possible to make a movie with (sniper) in the title with less sniping. Secondly the entire movie is not about snipers its about a soldier trying to get as far away from sniping as possible because in his words "its a cowards way of fighting". Then there is the laughable acting, almost no one in that movie knew what real emotion was supposed to look like so they just acted the best they could in hopes of attaining some shred of realism.. utter failure. Plot line, um what plot line it was just an endless scene of a guy angry about his buddies getting killed and running back to get revenge as if that's supposed to be heroic, more like pathetic and exactly what no marine would ever do in a situation like that. 1/10 and I'm being generous.
