Sniper Special Ops

Yet another in a long succession of horrible straight-to-video movies by Seagal of late. At least there were no CGI bullet holes in this one. What I don't understand is why producers can't hire a decent military consultant when shooting a war movie. Jeff Bosley (Doc) is a Green Beret, how he didn't die laughing during the filming is beyond me. Firearm handling is absolutely ridiculous, Rob Van Dam clearly has never fired a long gun before in his life. Charlene Amoia, who claims to be an "expert marksman" holds a pistol like it's a personal massager (wink-wink).

You see an assortment of optics on the team's rifles (ACOG, Aimpoint, Eotech) but the funniest is a tiny RDS on Segal's rifle that has superimposed hash marks when looking through it in Seagal's first- person view. Absurd.

Overall, horrible low-budget B-flick with bad story, horrible acting and a huge number of blunders. Save yourself some time and DO NOT watch it.

I like alot of Seagal DTV flicks & consider some of them "Gems" like his Driven to Kill,Pistol Whipped,A Dangerous Man & Belly of the Beast. Unfortunately as we all know, with some decent one's we also get the absolute Trash ones like: Attack Force,A Good Man,Shadow Man,Black Dawn & Sniper.

We all know Seagal isn't a good actor but we watch him for the old school brutal vigilante Justice he does to the scum of the world, that's his appeal as we grew up watching him & just enjoy watching his beat the crap outta bad guys. Here in this pile of poop, Seagal is a boring Sniper that sits around & it's just a weird & boring Iraq based war drama. Weird that Seagal was in this & even weirder that he produced it? Like i said i do enjoy alot of Seagal's DTV output but this one was boring & Seagal was a side character & i turned it off halfway through. Just a crappy one of his huge output

Segal and a gang of old hairy special ops get caught in Taliban fight an dfight and fight and then report to a colonel old enough to have fought at gettysburg! And a girl with baby who is daughter of Taliban cheif and more fighting and more moe fighting and Seagal mumbles hi sway through it all and men are dying left and right and up and down and... Oh dear this really is a boring film. I stayed watching to end because my neighbours had a party and I couldn't go to bed.

This movie involved Steven Seagal sitting in the chair for basically the entire movie. Random nobody's complete with a typical female reporter who suddenly knows how to run firearms. It's a giant suckfest but without the fun of a movie that knows that it sucks. Also Steven Seagal weighs 400 pounds.

Yet another non-action movie featuring fat Seagal in a minor role.

After a decent opening scene, things go flat for almost the entire remaining runtime where the plot involves a group of soldiers and an annoying reporter trying to rescue Steven Seagal and his sweaty wounded friend. As other reviews mention, Seagal basically sits in a chair for most of his brief runtime. The soldier group cast is believable and likable, but the endless scenes of them talking or arguing with the reporter get stale.

Sleaze director Fred Olen Ray has almost exclusively done quickie lifetime Christmas movies in the past years and seemingly decided to shoot this on a desert movie ranch during a free week.

Featuring only three shootout scenes and a lot of talking, Sniper: Special Ops is doomed to simply be a slot-filler on daytime tv. Only for the die hard Seagal fans (do any really exist?!)
