Sniper: Ghost Shooter (2016)

GHOST SHOOTER is another film in the prolific SNIPER series of straight to video thrillers. This one was once again shot in Bulgaria and features a sniper team whose job it is to protect a precious gas pipeline from terrorist attack. When they begin to be targeted by an invisible 'ghost shooter', they suspect that one of their own is selling them out. This film features a wealth of low rent action and shooting sequences and a familiar plot. It does the job even if it all feels rather predictable and hackneyed. Cast-wise, Billy Zane plays the gruff team leader while Chad Michael Collins is the wooden protagonist.

This is another story in the life of Gunnery Sgt. Brandon Beckett (Chad Michael Collins) and Richard Miller (Billy Zane). The characters have been introduced in a previous film:"Sniper: Reloaded-2011".They are part of an elite sniper group. The film starts out in Syria, then Turkey, and finally ends up in Georgia where our team is tasked to protect the building of a gas line to connect Georgia to Ukraine. Beckett suspects the Georgians working with the US are supplying the enemy with co-ordinates due to some recent killings (new people in landing party).The movie has a lot of sniper style killing. If people looking through a scope and taking the head shot is your kind of film, this is it. Plot is straight forward.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Sniper: Ghost Shooter is a mindless, poor and boring action movie to a franchise of 6 movies for now. I haven't seen all the films and honestly i don't want to i saw the previous film the 5th one with Tom Berenger and it was awful and this one is in the same league Hollywood has lost it's track with all this sequels, reboots and requels. Poor Frank Zane also stars in this film and his screen time is so so and even tho there's a lot of explosions and shootings the film continues to go with this lifeless and boring characters that we have but also references to much much better films such as Die Hard the original John McTiernan movie from 1988. Sniper 6 is just a boring, dumb movie that you might enjoy for a Sunday Night with your friends and family i give it a 4/10.

I'm not usually a fan of these movies, but this one was very engaging with some great action and some compelling performances. The locations where awesome and I'm now inspired to go and watch the complete series. Chad Michael Collins and Billy Zane really stood out and made the drama worth watching as well as the action. The action was great and I felt like I was watching real snipers. Great job to everyone involved. If I'm being critical I would say the blind intelligence officer leading Beckett to a meeting with the adversary stretched credibility a lot. It's as if the studio executive and writer thought they were being ground breaking but it came off a bit more silly than anything. Thankfully this section doesn't last long. Anyway, very impressed and super glad I found this little movie in a summer full of big budget stupidness.
