Movie Reviews of Sniper
Movie Review: Carlos Hathcock OR Tom Berenger?
Summary: 5 Stars
IF ANYONE has ever read the book entitled "Marine sniper" about the infamous marine corp. sniper Carlos Hathcock, and have seen the first installment of this series "sniper". THEN THEY KNOW its a movie about Hathcock straight out the book! Sniper vs Sniper, and ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME someone recognized Hathcock! so I'm all for this movie! its a AWESOME STORY! POINT BLANK and PERIOD! Ofcourse the names are all substituted :( but like I said, if you know the mans story and the tours he served in Nam. Then you'll LOVES this movie TOO! I Recomend this to ANY AND ALL. who prefer "one shot, one kill! NO EXCEPTIONS!" kind of storyline rather than "tearing up the country side with millions of rounds of ammunition." BUT Read the book "Marine Sniper" FIRST! it'll really key you in to this movies story and the links between the two! You'll agree also if you do. that this movie is based on Carlos Hathcock. GET IT WATCH IT LOVE IT. Oh and the sequals are kinda crappy too though.
Summary of Sniper
Tom Berenger and Billy Zane load their weapons for hair-trigger suspense and through-the-heart action in this non-stop guerrilla adventure exploding with raw firepower. One shot. One kills. No exceptions. By that hard and fast rule legendary Marine sniper Tom Beckett (Berenger) serves his only duty. With a dossier boasting 74 confirmed kills he may be ready for his final assignment. But is he ready for his roughest? As his spotter the Pentagon has chosen GS-9 Richard Miller (Zane)-a silver-medal marksman aiming for a Washington promotion. Together the bush-savvy gunner and the inexperienced bureaucrat must track down and eliminate a powerful rebel leader and his Colombian drug-lord financier. It is a suicide mission into the jungles of Central America where a man carries his life in his hands--and lives it one bullet at a time.

Berenger's done this switched-off soul bit before, but Zane doesn't seem quite ready for his part. In any case, the acting doesn't matter as much to director Luis Llosa as fancy camerawork to give viewers the sense of a bullet hurling along its trajectory. --Tom Keogh
