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.

Have they really run out of ideas? From the opening scenes of an overweight cult leader with a star on his forehead that makes for the perfect bullseye, the cheap James Bond garage or batcave hidden in the back of a Chinese restaurant after the first first 10 minutes, it does not really improve.

It is like an awkward teenager trying to be funny and cool at the same time, It doesn't work. The comedy is forced and everybody can figure out what is going to happen next 5 minutes before it does, like we know the tracking device is not in the phones. The actor s do a fair job with what they have but the writing missed the whole Target.

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.

"Sniper Glint" starts with a title that sets the expectation of an intense, realistic military film centered around sniping tactics and the precision involved in long-range shooting. However, as the film progresses, it becomes increasingly evident that it falls short in terms of accuracy and technical realism. If you're someone who enjoys military movies with attention to detail, this film might feel a bit disappointing. The portrayal of sniper shots, adjustments to scopes, firing distances, and even the sound dynamics of the shots and their delay seem to be poorly executed, leaving viewers with a sense of disbelief.

Initially, one might wonder if the filmmakers intended these inaccuracies as part of a satirical or comedic approach. However, the film does not seem to embrace humor in any way, nor does it appear to use sarcasm effectively. Instead, it seems like a missed opportunity, where the technical errors detract from the tension that a film about sniping should ideally create. If the filmmakers were going for realism or intense drama, the inaccuracies feel jarring. But if they had intended to make a parody, they didn't lean into the comedy enough to make it noticeable or engaging.

Moreover, the choice of name for the main character, particularly the protagonist, feels simplistic and uninspired.

The performances of the actors are generally good, and they seem to do their best. However, it's clear that even the strongest performances can't fully salvage the film when the plot and direction lack coherence.

Without giving away spoilers, the ending is another point of contention. It's the kind of conclusion that leaves viewers scratching their heads, wondering "Why now?" It feels abrupt and disconnected from the rest of the film. It almost seems as though the film's conclusion was hastily tacked on, lacking the necessary emotional payoff or narrative closure to leave a lasting impression.

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.
