Sniper: G.R.I.T. - Global Response & Intelligence Team

Started watching the Sniper movies over some time. Got hooked. They had depth in terms of real emotional Interactions, strong values like loyalty and father and son relation. They we're interesting in details on sniping. Most importantly they didnt try to make unfunny jokes and where serious in their plot even through they didnt have the biggest budget.

This new movie failed in all aspects. While the start looked promising in terms of budget and videography the story itself was just bad and Not hooking. Jokes we're really bad. Like a cheap Holywood movie trying too hard to be funny to make it an comedy. This three away all the seriousness respect and trust and History you Had from previous movies for the characters. No professional snipers and trained Killers anymore. Just a bunch of stupid touhh guys and explosions. Gangsters had no intelligence and neither had the good guys. A shame how they represented modern it security and weapons available or the skill of sniping. Basically everything that makes a good sniper movies was stripped away. So das since it seems this series could become a James Bond Like ongoing series If It was professsionalized instead of made a joke of.

Had to stopped watching the movie 60 minutes in, it was so bad that I wasnt interested in watching the end. I feel like this is exactly what happens when people with a big mouth represent themself as great directors to Investors. Sadly i didnt Take such a career route yet. I would love to make a series like this great again.

What happened to this franchise? It's hard to believe the Sniper franchise has spanned over 31 years with 10 movies but the last two are terrible. I like the cast but the execution, the dialogue and the unfunny jokes ruined this one, just like the previous one. It's hardly about sniping anymore and this one seems to be heavily inspired by videogames like Hitman and Sniper Ghost Warrior and the guards even act like NPC in those games. Even the introduction of the targets are exactly like I have seen in those mentioned games. I mean the action is fine but a lot of scenes are just dumb and ridiculous. If they decide to make another one, please return to your roots.

Not a usually a brainless cheap action fan, but some of these throughout the series offer some entertainment, especially when tired and not really in the mood to blow energy watching something riveting. I just sort of had this one on in the background while cooking and ended up having to pause it several times when I couldn't watch some of the fun action. It's not particularly smart, and comes off a little beefcake, but it is one of the better offerings in the franchise, in my opinion. It's shot pretty clean, with good production value and has some nuance that had me chuckling a bit, more than once- (Intel Pete is always worth a smirk). Decent formula for mindless gory-but-humorous shoot 'em up entertainment. Even a little bit of story for Lady Death. Ultimately, if you have liked some of these in the past, this is now one of the better ones in my opinion.

As part of the Sniper franchise this movie is likely the worst of them all. It is more of a parody than a Sniper movie. If this wasn't part of the franchise I might have rated this higher. It is silly, light hearted and whimsical. It's more of a comedy than an action movie. So it's been a downhill trend of the franchise from intense drama/action to silly comedy. The script is mediocre and the acting is passable. The character interaction is well done. It generates most of the humor. Lady Death is recast so that specific character dynamic is different. It's a watchable movie that has entertainment value but a total pendulum swing from the origins of the franchise.

The set up in the first few minutes tells you it is going to be a silly, campy movie. If you keep watching it past that, you've asked for what you are getting. Since I was immediately prepared, I got into the mindset of being a twelve year old boy in the 1980s and just went along for the ride. It can be a lot of fun to watch if you're in the right mood.

A bit disappointed that Dennis Haysbert has been reduced to this. He's capable of a lot more, and I'm sorry if the powers that be in Hollywood don't see him as bankable. He's the reason we chose the movie. Better casting luck next time, Dennis.
