दि मास्कमैन: निशान पर

I didn't know Wesley Snipes run out of money. Couldn't figure out any other reason for participating in this movie.

Ridiculous story of a nuclear threat with enmeshment of Kremlin and some Special Forces. Couple of mistakes during the movie cause an additional loss of acceptance: after dropping the parachutists the plane flies a curve...for every radar control clearly to understand that the package is delivered; the way the special forces moves in the tunnels; giving signal to the rescue chopper by bale fire, while Wesley Snipes is equipped with neat fancy equipment;....

Poor plot. Poor dialogs.

Superfluous

Save your time and money and pick another one.

OK, I don't hate Snipes or action movies... But this movie is really just crap. The counter players of Snipes (especially his teammates) should be special forces of some kind, but they act as if they just got off college and don't have a clue what they should be doing (even the captain). Snipes seems to be the only capable man and that's just not enough to make a good movie. The only thing that should be good in a movie, acting by professional actors, just is NOT.

So that's why I hated this movie, it's just too lame. Maybe they didn't invest enough time in EVERYTHING.

I don't really want to make more lines dirty and invest more time in reviewing this movie, but I have to because of the possibility of actually posting this. So if you want a good movie, go watch Fight Club or the James Bond series or something like the new Batman Begins. But leave this movie alone. It would be a waste of your time if you are a critical movie watcher. (maybe you just have to be stoned or drunk with some mates to enjoy this movie, or you just have to love terrible movies)

I choose The Marksman while renting at the video store because I wanted a DVD that would be entertaining to watch and not a big risk. I figured that if Snipes signed onto the movie it couldn't be that bad. I wasn't expecting a great story, but at least some good action with the occasional action movie cliché.

I think this movie must have been made as a practical joke to Wesley Snipes. They probably showed it at his birthday party. Every member of the cast overacted every scene. It was like every speaking character had their own monologue.

The special effects were comical. During a jet fight scene they show an explosion that is supposed to be one of the jets blowing up. A few seconds later when another jet supposedly explodes, it appears to be the same explosion optically reversed, right down to the last piece of debris flying through the air.

I would expect a movie to be this bad that didn't have a famous actor in the lead. But I never thought a movie with Wesley Snipes could be of this poor quality. He needs to have his head examined.

Being a Snipes fan, I thought this might be worth the money to rent. DON'T BOTHER!! The plot was trite, the acting worse than a middle school drama production and the action unconvincing. I mean, come ON! Army RANGERS that look frightened?! Costume coordinator should have been fired before they began....military costumes ALWAYS include headgear of some kind, especially in a combat situation. The dialogue, what there is of it, was written by an elementary school child that's trying to imitate tough guy conversation from his GI Joe cartoons. With little success! The cartoons are a better viewing experience and they are FREE!! This one should pay the audience! BAD, BAD movie! This one rates an F grade!

Cruising the video store and picked up as a fan of Snipes. Didn't realize he had been involved in such a stinker. Terrible, terrible, terrible. Confusing initial attempt to set stage for world wide danger, continuity staff (if any used) were asleep at the switch. Army Ranger in tower would shoot out window with AK-47 and then the inside shot when he ducks from bullets had him holding a HK. One of the scientists when alive was a woman with long blond hair, all dead ones were men. Avoid at all costs!

Even Snipes action scenes were not up to his usual standard. His 'stealthiness' in kicking the Rangers' butts during the training mission consisted of him running through the woods at night and they just couldn't see him. Then later he outruns a jeep with a guy firing a mounted machine gun at him. Stinko!
