Sniper Reviews

To be honest, it has been ages since I saw this flick. When I was a young teenager, my first favorite genre were the action movies and, already at 12 years old, I would go every month to watch the latest action flick and I think that, at around 14 years old, I started to open up towards other genres, above all thanks to my big sister. Anyway, I saw this movie back in those days and, at the time, I thought it was completely bad-ass. Of course, 20 years later, it seems to be a rather misguided idea to make an action flick with Billy Zane but, at the time, it didn’t bother me at all. At the time, Tom Berenger was still in demand and there was not many actors who you could have been believable to play such a character. Anyway, you can say whatever you want but to make an action movie about a lethal sniper was quite brilliant (I wonder why they don’t make more of this) and, personally, I thought that the makers did a pretty good job here. Of course, as it remains a typical US action flicks, you get some rather preposterous action scenes but it is inherent to the genre and it didn’t bother me here. To conclude, even though it is nothing really amazing, I think it is actually a decent action flick and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
