"Sniper" is a gritty film about an American Marine ace shooter. Tom Berenger plays Thomas Beckett, a sniper who does assassinations for the U.S. government. He's a jungle expert whose targets are Central and South American rebel leaders and drug lords. Since he takes out men who oppress the local people and who build kingdoms on the addiction of thousands of others, viewers might be inclined to empathize with Beckett. But the gruesomeness of cold-blooded killing takes its toll on all such people. Beckett tells his partner in this last mission, Richard Miller (played by Billy Zane), that the worst part after an assassination is when it no longer hurts. This film has a good plot that shows the emotional effects of such killing assignments. It also provides a close-up look at survival in such a field of "work."

I will warn you here: I chose to believe those reviewers who said that this wasn't an action film in the usual sense, rather a psychological drama so you should appreciate it on that basis and you will be alright.I am here to tell you that they were wrong. Completely wrong.Well, no, not completely; it is very disappointing if you are looking for an action flick, they were right about that. But it is also very unsatisfying on all other levels as well.Tom Beringer wasn't too bad, I suppose, no worse than usual; but what possessed them to cast Billy Zane in this? Was it some sort of death wish on the part of the producers? A way to made their film a guaranteed flop? In that case, it worked.If they were actually aiming for success, then why not cast somebody who can act? Oh, and might as well go for a screenwriter who knows how to write. Ah, yes, and a director who knows how to direct.As someone who sat through this mess, actually believing it would shortly redeem itself, I can assure you it never did. Pity, it could've been a good film.

When I saw it for the first time I was really impressed.The director made such a mysterious atmosphere, especially in the end. Through all the story spectators can expect that Richard will really kill Thomas or he will do it first.But..the main point was not conflict but..FRIENDSHIP!Older and mature one prayed himself to save the younger who has the whole life to life.It is amazing. Every time I watch it I enjoy!Of course it is pretty violent like every action movie but I think it is acceptable. Thanks a lot Louis Liosa and Tom Berenger! Amazing film!I advice everyone to see it.I am sure people wont regret and will really have a good time.
