Rating: Summary: unconvincing rubbish Review: as an ex special forces soldier I laughed at how unconvincing the characters were. The usual unrealistic muzzle flash from the automatic weapons. Berringer moved like some lumbering oxen. To cast some black bloke as Berringers opo made me laugh - if a covert team wanted to advertise themselves in the Balkans they couldn't have done a better job. The first sniper film was rather better.
Rating: Summary: not nearly as good as the first movie Review: Dumb plot,unrealistic, al least the first movie had some small chance of really happening. Tom is the only good thing about the movie.
Rating: Summary: What language are they speaking? Review: I am a Bosnian,Croatian,and Serbian linguist, as is my wife. We watched this movie and were trying to figure out which Eastern European country they were in. We were suprised to learn that it is supposedly taking place in the Balkans. Well, it isn't Bosnia, because we didnt understand a damn word. If you are going to film a country in the Balkans, try using Bosnian, Serbian, or Croatian; especially if you are referring to Bosnia.
Total waste of time.....
Would not recommend this movie.
Rating: Summary: HOLLYWOOD MEETS THE MILITARY SNIPER,, PART 2 Review: I FOUND THIS MOVIE TO BE A LITTLE BETTER THAN THE FIRST SNIPER MOVIE. ONCE AGAIN TOM BERENGER IS RIGHT ON AS GUNNERY SGT BECKETT, MARINE SNIPER. THERE WERE NICE LITTLE REFINEMENTS OVER THE FIRST MOVIE WITH MORE BELIEVEABLE SCOPE CROSSHAIRS, AND EVEN SOME TECHNICAL TALK ABOUT SNIPER CRAFT. I ALSO LIKED THE FACT THAT THIS MOVIE ACKNOWLEDGED THE ARMY SNIPER CORPS. THE FINAL SNIPER VS SNIPER DUEL WAS VERY ENJOYABLE AND RIVALED ENEMY AT THE GATES DUEL IN MY BOOK. ALL IN ALL A VERY ENJOYABLE LITTLE MOVIE. AS A RETIRED ARMY SNIPER, MY HAT IS TIPPED TO TOM BERENGER FOR BRINGING THE MILITARY SNIPER CORPS TO THE SILVER SCREEN.
Rating: Summary: Why Did Hollywood Do This? Review: I'll keep it short and sweet.Sniper 2 was not as good as the original and the plot was very hard to follow. Also, the premise that Master Gunnery Sergeant Beckett was the only sniper that could carry out this mission was absurd.
Rating: Summary: Different but just as good as Sniper 1 Review: In this sequel, Master Sergeant Beckett (Tom Berenger) is asked by the CIA to go to Bosnia to take out a renegade general/PM who is responsible for the ethnic cleansing of many Muslim natives. Beckett is accompanied by an death-row inmate, who is also an accomplished sniper/observer (Bokeem Woodbine, who played one of the baddie-soldiers in the movie "The ROCK"). In accomplishing their mission, the two of them must navigate within enemy territory and escape the clutches of enemy soldiers and enemy snipers as they head toward the border. This movie seemed like a cross between "Behind Enemy Lines" and "Enemy at the Gates." The acting was very good, especially by Berenger and Woodbine, and by the rest of cast, most of whom are unknown. The two main characters worked well together and I was relieved that there was no Billy Zane character (whom I found very annoying in the Sniper 1) this time around. At times the movie has too much talking toward the second half, but the story and the pacing of the movie is good. This movie is a worthy sequel to Sniper 1 and you would most likely enjoy it if you liked Sniper 1.
Rating: Summary: No comment Review: Just had an urgent need to let you know that this movie absolutely sucks. Please don't waste your time at watching this cartoon. You'll regret it if you do.
Rating: Summary: Not a Good Thriller Starring Tom Berenger & Bokeem Woodbine Review: Just when you forgot the first "Sniper" movie, you get a sequel starring the original star Tom Berenger. I don't say the first one is a masterpiece, but still engaging because of the minute descriptions of the military snipers and their jobs, helped by flashy camera works Instead of Billy Zane, you see Bookeem Woodbine, and beautiful Hungarian Erika Marozsan. Tom Berenger's character Thomas Becket, now retired and 50 years-old, is lured back to the suicide mission to sneak into some unnamed Eastern Europe country, where a certain general is suspected leading a genocide plan. To stop this, he and a guy from a Death Row is sent there. With a help from "Sofia" they have to "remove" the target. "Sniper 2" is shot in Hungary, and shows some decent action scenes. It tries to show some surprising twists in its rather simple plot; it also has the merit of Hungarian locales. But the film is not good. Tom Berenger and other cast give us convincing acting, but the story is often confusing. The film goes back and forth between the two places -- American HQ and the European country -- and there is very little sense of suspence. This is simply because we do not know what the heroes of the film want to do after the inital mission, which itself is not credible or exciting at all. The "surprise" you see is just making the whole film worse, because we don't see the need of it. I liked Erika Marozsan, who was stunning in little-seen film "Gloomy Sunday" and that's why I watched this film. Here she is wasted, and when she exits from the story, she just goes, without any emotional impact. She just leaves from the scene, as if going home for lunch. It is incredible, but she really wanted to go home, being tire on the set. And please. What ever happened to Tom Berenger, Oscar nominee in "The Platoon." I don't think it is a good move for him to do this kind of film, or a sequel no one remembers. He is good even in this straight-to-video B-film, showing menace and charm at the same time. He deserves a much better film.
