Sniper Português

A seemingly low-budget film makes up for every flaw with action, this brings back the old cat and mouse game, that sniper movies have. Great soundtrack that really takes us there to the forest to see two elite snipers face each other, with traps, until the moment we all wait for, the time to pull the trigger. It builds up nicely, to a great finale, the target gets away, but the confrontation between them is for the ages.

Deep in the jungle of Colombia, a mercenary sniper wants to kill a rebel leader but the portuguese sniper shows his skills against an incredible killer.

Portuguese Sniper does a great job of allowing us a glimpse into the world of the snipers. The rifle of the portuguese sniper is awesome in every way, and the rifle of the mercenary sniper is great also. A smart move from Constantino Filmes, that show us that even in Portugal they can make good movies and this one is a must have.

10/10

This movie definitely has a B-movie "look" to it. Great action from the first to the last frame, it´s well-paced, fraught with suspense, like any other hollywood sniper movie. As a lower budget action movie this served it's purpose well.

The plot may be familiar, the premise of having two snipers as the protagonists is interesting. There are some exciting moments, cool camera tricks and even some genuine tension. The problems i found in the movie is the lack of action, only in the end we really see it, and the rebel leader was not well used, nor did he look like a real leader, he looks like a guy walking through the forest shooting, the soldiers who accompanied him had the immersive style of that environment. In addition, it is a good short because the budget was very low, and they managed to bring us a little of what would be a great Portuguese adventure in the world of snipers.

7/10

Solid thriller but low on reality and action, the pace is good through and it is quite enjoyable until the end where believability is pushed just a little bit too far. If character and plot development was better planned who knows how great this movie could have been. So, i´m still gonna give this a 7, just for the effort to make a portuguese sniper, and i love the sets.
