Sniper 2

OK, maybe I'd give it 3 1/2 stars if I could. But "Sniper II" was really not bad at all. Yes, I had lowered expectations going in, (I'd read some lukewarm reviews), so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the film.The first "Sniper" movie was also a good film -- more of a character study than an action story (in my opinion). This sequel took on some of that same flavor as well, though there was sufficient action in the movie to keep it from dragging.Tom Berenger reprises the original character (Becker) well. Somewhat anti-social (shy, really), grumpy but with deep feelings, Becker is an interesting and complex character. In this sequel, Becker is older, wider around the middle, but he still is a fabulous marksman (despite an injury that put him out of the sniper business after the first film). And so after years of retirement, he's called into service once again, on a foolhardy and convoluted mission.His interaction and relationship with the other man brought in on the mission is good -- like in the first movie, he often calls this younger man "son" as he argues and bickers (and looks out) for him. I thought Becker's character was consistent in both films, and I liked this. I liked Becker, and it was nice to see him yet again.However, just like in the first film, there was a somewhat anti-climatic ending, (left me thinking, "That's the end?") but it was still adequate enough. I cared about all the characters, but a few left the story too soon, and I felt cheated because I didn't get to know more about them.So, in my estimation, I saw this film as similar to the first: An older and wiser sniper is paired up with a younger (but this time, *very* able) partner, on a dangerous mission in a faraway land. They don't like each other at first, but end up forging a friendship by the end. It was a nice movie. Surely it could have been better, but I was not disappointed. It would be nice to see another installment to the "Sniper" movies, with a little meatier ending. I'd like that.

don,t work

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.

I'm sorry i didn't buy it, he alreadyDidn't buy, he already has it. it's awesome.has it.

love the movie however it keeps on pausing by itself not sure its the dvd or the dvd player i have

One of our favorite movies ever, love to watch this over and over again

Who doesn't love the classics. Go ahead and treat yourself to a great movie.

It is a sniper story in an urban setting (Serbia) taking place after the fall of Milosevic during the mid 90's Balkan wars. It has a good story and some nice scenery as well. There is more character development and drama than the first one which was more of a war film. Realism and attention to detail is very good in the film, unlike a lot of hollywood films who don't do veterans and history justice.

Quality was better than i expected, and value for my money, i do enjoy the sniper collection, and Tom Berenger as an actor, highly under rated in my humble opinion, i am a movie Buff, happy to add these to my Collection, would highly recommend this seller and product, also arrived early that's always a bonus, service much appreciated, keep up the good work. Thank you.

I was surprised to see an old face in this actor Bookeem Woodvine. He played the excellent claustaphobic security man in the excellent horror flick Devil. The plot is set eastern Europe.This time he play a army marksman who goes out with Berenger, as the ace Sniper who goes out on impossible missions to kill all manner of despots. Here he has to kill a ruthless gang leader and killer. we have a fairly tense plot with a few clever twist and a nice ending but not as good as the first Sniper movie as reflected in the lower budget..

Very Good But not as good as the Original

Not as good as the first but still a lot of twist and turns to keep you on your toes.

very good film
