Sniper Redemption

People don't understand movies and they are reviewing this. It's supposed to be slow and boring at times. But it's very nice. The story is something we have all seen before, with a little of twist here and there.

The great part is that Sam Worthington is a good actor and it's really fun to watch him. This should be Sam's comeback hit!

The bad part about is perhaps some of the story is convoluted and doesn't make sense. But that's about it, it is very good on the dialogue part, acting part and direction. Matthew Nable is excellent and it's a lot of fun to see him be intimidating at times.

Australia is a great country and they know their stuff. Overall a good watch.

This falls into the class of 'people story' and these do need to be done at a certain pace. Dad Sam having lost his wife in tragic circumstances is now attempting to raise his son while dealing with the trauma. A former Special Ops mate factors in and things get messy. This is not a fast paced action movie, and it's refreshing that it isn't as the story wouldn't work properly if it was. However, there is a lot happening and it certainly kept our interest. Relationship between Dad and son is great to watch. If you love a good people story and like relationship tales, then this is a good watch and we really enjoyed it.

I really tried, really .... The start of the movie immediately showed 2 things : the quality is a B movie instead of a movie with a star like Worthington : pale colours and most irritating continuing monotone background music. After 15 mintutes, the movie did not showed anything but a boring,; boring, boring kid and his boring father that acts boring towards his boring pregnant wife ... I do not understand why Mr Worthington accept to play in this kind of boring movies, except if you want to help people suffering insomnia ... Anyway, i did one good thing : I did not watch the movie till the end and I'm happy not to have wasted the full.106 minutes of my life.

Surprised at the bad reviews and low ratings as we thought this a great study into veteran inner conflict, compounded by personal tragedy and the inability to find stability in ongoing employment- problems faced by so many returning vets from all wars even without the then loss of family at home. We did not need to see the deeds of war, the story was set in the aftermath .The performances were great, Matt Nable displaying brilliantly the characteristics of those vets unable to leave the battlefields behind, Sam Worthington trying to do so but visibly feeling failure in raising his son alone while the voice off his wife is his conscience, drifting from job to job - then to crime - a lost soul really. And the son, at each stage, trying to understand too while dealing with his own loss and lack of direction. The fight scenes were well choreographed , violent and well executed and overall reminded of the type of films we have seen following all theatres of war where returning soldiers are damaged yet receive minimal support. Ignore the naysayers, watch this and decide for yourself.

I really tried with this movie. But the slow boring pace it just isn't it. I mean come on we are 36 minutes into the movie and we have one action scene??!! And the script is nothing to write home about in this movie. It had me screaming in my head CAN WE AT THIS TRY HERE🤣

I mean give credit to the cast for trying to carry a script that literally says have you gone to sleep yet directly in your face. If you go based on the trailer for this movie you will surely be disappointed. No directions, no action and certainly no purpose to have made this film. I honestly wish I could get that 36 minutes back and rewrite the script.
