Sniper: The Last Stand

Enjoyable movie. Lots of action scenes, The actor ( Chad Michael Collins) playing Brandon Beckett, looks like he really knows how to use a sniper rifle. It also looks good (and make me feel proud) to be South African, seeing that Arnold Vosloo plays the role of Mauser Maxim in this movie. (Noticed a mistake you made you named Rob van Vuuren as the actor playing Mauser Maxim.) Because of him (Arnold) that is the reason I watched the. Movie. The overall plot I must say it started a little slower than I liked, but as it picked up speed as the story goes along. The end is quite climatic. Overall it won't win a Oscar but was enjoyable.

The movie starts off well enough, with an excellently acted villain. Too bad they kill him off immediately. There's a lot of backstory on most of the characters, but unfortunately very little on him. The weapon scene is unrealistic and far too short.

I think they ran out of plot 1/3 of the way into the movie. It was enjoyable until then. At that point, though, it's just another hour of fighting -- unrealistic fighting at that. The fights with the females are the worst; they're slowed down so we can see what badasses they are supposed to be. Five members of a militia that's heavily armed with guns decide instead to battle against one woman with knives and machetes instead of just shooting her.

We don't really get enough information about the bad man running the country.

Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz and Arnold Vosloo play their parts well. The rest of the cast just doesn't have enough to work with.

They're definitely resting on the popularity of the other Sniper movies.

The movie starts slow, but the last 45 minutes of action make the film worth a watch and a decent addition to the Sniper series of movies. The action set pieces are beautifully worked and are fun to watch. The cast does a decent job overall on the combat scenes and handling the weapons. One of the drawbacks is that the enemy is shown to be too weak and does not have much of a character, and the development of the characters is bland. But, the lead actors playing B and Zero give a decent performance. A bit more work on the script would have improved the rating, but I feel the rating of 4.6 is too low, and it deserves at least a rating of 5.

Indeed, The phrase "efile noma ephila" means "whether dead or alive" ("que ce soit mort ou vivant") in Zulu. It's an important expression in Zulu culture, showing their strength and determination to keep going no matter what happens. It reminds the Zulu people to stay strong and true to their values, even in difficult times.

This phrase is used in stories, proverbs, and songs to teach lessons about being tough and staying connected to their community and ancestors.

So, "efile noma ephila" is a way of saying that the Zulu people will keep going and stay strong, no matter what.

Nb: The name "Esterhazy" comes from Hungary. It is connected to a place called Esterháza near Dunajská Streda, which is now in Slovakia. The Esterhazy family started in southwestern Slovakia and became important in Hungarian history, especially with people like Count Nikolaus Esterházy and Prince Paul Esterházy.

Count Nikolaus Esterházy (1583-1645) was a powerful nobleman in Hungary. He helped the Habsburg monarchy and fought against the Turks. He became Palatine of Hungary and was important in making Hungary stronger.

Prince Paul Esterházy (1635-1713) was Nikolaus's son and the first prince of the Esterházy family. He was a great soldier, fought the Ottoman Turks, and supported the arts. He made the Esterházy family very rich and powerful.

How do you make a shoot 'em up film boring? Well, they did the seemingly impossible with this latest installment. It was the least engaging of the movies in the franchise. Almost nothing to entertain the viewer. The plot was so bland a third grader could write something more interesting. The dialogue was absolutely atrocious. One boring cliche after another. And the acting. Don't get me started with the terrible acting. Not a single person in the film could act. Where did they find these people? You could pick a dozen folks off the street, dress them up in cammo and feed them the lines. They'd probably do a better job the the 3rd-rate actors who populated this mediocre film.

If you're looking to waste an hour and a half of your time, check this one out. About the only thing they did right was the fighting scenes. Actually, no. They didn't even do that right. It was almost like they were having a contest to see how bloody and gory they could make it.

Just an overall waste of time. You've been warned. The only good thing is this is hopefully the last one they make. Just make it stop!

P. S. Believe all the low ratings. This one is a stinker!
