Sniper: Missione non autorizzata

After watching all 9 installments of Sniper franchise (including this one) since the original Sniper released in 1993, I hate to say this is the most ridiculous and worst one. Thumbs down.

I wonder how could they end up reaching to this level of low quality with cheap production values, poor script, poor direction, poor casting, poor acting & overall poor editing. Everything is so terrible in this 9th installment.

It doesn't deserve even one single star rating actually, due to everything is very bad. In previous installments, presence of Tom Berenger somehow managed to create suspense and excitement, but this one is the most horrible in every aspect.

I wish, if sanity remains, producers stop further production of future sequels, for the betterment of the whole Sniper franchise.

There are many negative reviews here, but these people have never made a movie in their lives and are so critical!

Watch the movie! Working with a low budget, the filmmakers created a dynamic plot full of "What's going to happen next" moments! The camera angles and zoom-ins made the movie stand out to me. Looking dead into the eyes of a character, it has you waiting to hear the pin drop.

There are some moments where the dialogue could've used some work. I could see that some actors were working outside their comfort zone (as in taking roles that are a bit of a challenge from what they've done before, but as artists, that's precisely what we are supposed to do!) but all in all, it is a great story! To find comedy in such a serious matter as busting sec trafficking pins is undoubtedly not easy. Still, they did it in a tasteful manner that allowed the viewer to understand the severity of the mission but also chuckle a little bit.

I was dissapointed with this movie. It lacked a descent plot line. Not a lot of action and mediocre fighting from Chad Collins, Ryan Robbins and Sayaka Akimoto. I'm a huge fam of the Sniper series and was hoping this new movie would continue in the format of the other movies but it was very dissapointing. The music just made it a lot worse. I did enjoy watching it but I would not watch it again where as I have watched the other movies in this series over and over again. To me it was a B movie. I guess people are going to have to watch it and make up their own minds. I hope if they continue with the new format they will make a better plot line and more action.

I struggled to watch the whole movie...

Bad bad bad !!

The music score seemed to both overwhelm the senses in watching the movie , as well as being poorly selected. Some scores sounded like the background music of a Tom and Jerry cartoon, while in the extreme, sounded like background music of a 1970's porno. The music did not match the scenes and I found it distracting.

I found the acting poor, camera work poor and the story both was poorly written and did not flow in the production. The actors/characters were not convincing in their roles at all.

My advice, ........ give this a movie a miss... and then to religion and pray to your god and beg that this is the last Sniper movie to be made.... This is, thus far, the worst one so far.

I think the biggest issue behind the low ratings is the title. Expecting a sniper film, then This movie is a disappointment. It's not a sniper movie and the few sniper scenes aren't conventional at all, there's no spotter. No hours/days of waiting, idiotic off-the-cuff planning the snipe, etc. But it's a good movie for a small group of over-trained special forces types with a bass ass girl in the mix, led by a true blue, but jaded CIA/JSOC commander. The villains have similar backgrounds to the good guys but chose a faster but immoral path to riches. Can the reprehensible human/drug traffickers with protection from top-level Corrupt government officials be stopped by by this "rag tag" tight team of "good guys"? The hand to hand combat scenes get long, at least for me. But that's why Sony invented FF. I recommend it, unless you want top level choreographed combat skills and realistic LEO involvement, etc.
