Sniper: The Last Stand

The movie starts off well enough, with an excellently acted villain. Too bad they kill him off immediately. There's a lot of backstory on most of the characters, but unfortunately very little on him. The weapon scene is unrealistic and far too short.

I think they ran out of plot 1/3 of the way into the movie. It was enjoyable until then. At that point, though, it's just another hour of fighting -- unrealistic fighting at that. The fights with the females are the worst; they're slowed down so we can see what badasses they are supposed to be. Five members of a militia that's heavily armed with guns decide instead to battle against one woman with knives and machetes instead of just shooting her.

We don't really get enough information about the bad man running the country.

Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz and Arnold Vosloo play their parts well. The rest of the cast just doesn't have enough to work with.

They're definitely resting on the popularity of the other Sniper movies.

Enjoyable movie. Lots of action scenes, The actor ( Chad Michael Collins) playing Brandon Beckett, looks like he really knows how to use a sniper rifle. It also looks good (and make me feel proud) to be South African, seeing that Arnold Vosloo plays the role of Mauser Maxim in this movie. (Noticed a mistake you made you named Rob van Vuuren as the actor playing Mauser Maxim.) Because of him (Arnold) that is the reason I watched the. Movie. The overall plot I must say it started a little slower than I liked, but as it picked up speed as the story goes along. The end is quite climatic. Overall it won't win a Oscar but was enjoyable.

This is the latest installment from the Sniper franchise. Gun fights and explosions as per usual. It was so repetitive that I soon nodded off. Waking up I see they were yet in another gun fight. Although some how despite the movie name there is very little sniper action.

The opening scene had introduced a James Bond type villain. He is killed off immediately and the entirety of the movie is the squad fighting off a mob of nameless militia fighters converging on them. The hand to hand combat scenes were silly. They slowed down the choreography because these actors were not trained properly. It was like watching an old uncle trying to dance at a wedding. Step one, step two and so on you get the picture.

How do you make a shoot 'em up film boring? Well, they did the seemingly impossible with this latest installment. It was the least engaging of the movies in the franchise. Almost nothing to entertain the viewer. The plot was so bland a third grader could write something more interesting. The dialogue was absolutely atrocious. One boring cliche after another. And the acting. Don't get me started with the terrible acting. Not a single person in the film could act. Where did they find these people? You could pick a dozen folks off the street, dress them up in cammo and feed them the lines. They'd probably do a better job the the 3rd-rate actors who populated this mediocre film.

If you're looking to waste an hour and a half of your time, check this one out. About the only thing they did right was the fighting scenes. Actually, no. They didn't even do that right. It was almost like they were having a contest to see how bloody and gory they could make it.

Just an overall waste of time. You've been warned. The only good thing is this is hopefully the last one they make. Just make it stop!

P. S. Believe all the low ratings. This one is a stinker!

Sniper Brandon Beckett (Chad Michael Collins) and Agent Zero (Ryan Robbins) are part of a group of elite international soldiers sent to Costa Verde to stop an arms dealer with a superweapon. This opens with a fine action section with the group attacking the final boss. The villain activates his superweapon which throws everyone back. Then the movie goes 48 hours earlier and the audience has to wait. It is a lot of introductions and preparations and training. Very little of it is compelling. The movie loses any pace it had earlier. I do like the Canadian axe fighters for all the old fashion action cheese. The middle is so boring that I would suggest the fast forward button.
