I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

While the acting, directing and cinematography are okay, this movie is let down by a ridiculous story-line, poor dialogue and cheap production elements.The story is implausible. The protagonist is Sgt Brandon Beckett, son of MGSgt Thomas Beckett of the first three sniper films. As marine grunt, his squad is killed by a single sniper, so he becomes a sniper(seemingly overnight), goes AWOL and treks off into the bush to seek revenge. For some strange reason, Miller (Billy Zane) decides to go along for the ride. Brandon then goes on a killing spree, taking down numerous foes armed with assault rifles at point-blank range with a hunting rifle. I could list other ridiculous encounters in the film, but you get the picture. The costumes and make-up are cheap and inappropriate. (A renegade, AWOL marine is not going to walk around a Congolese town wearing a uniform and tactical gear, with sidearm whilst carrying a hunting rifle).For a military film, there are far too many technical failings for it to be in any way believable, it becomes frustrating. This film has no where near the production values of the original Sniper film. Claims that this films "outshines" Luis Llosa's Sniper are ridiculous, to say the least.

I have always liked the original Sniper. Seen it numerous times. Quoted it numerous times. It's one of those movies. I even sat through the two hit-and-miss sequels that followed. Which made me all the more surprised when I found out another sequel was to be released without Berenger, but low and behold, Billy Zane was back to the franchise three sequels down the line and eighteen years since his appearance in the original.Let's cut to the chase. There's only one reason to bother seeing Sniper Reloaded; you're a fan of the original. On it's own merits, there is nothing of worth to non-fans of the series. The story is simple and predictable in every detail. The action sterile and the characters made of cardboard. From the hidden antagonist to the completely unnecessary female romance subplot to a relatively unknown actor playing Beckett's estranged son. Who himself is the most sad and tired excuse to make a Sniper sequel and somehow keep it tied to the original. Only fans of the series (and more so the original) should tempt to sit through this and then only to see GS9 Miller in what amounts to an extended cameo.With rock bottom expectations that have been granted from sitting through one too many bad b-movie action flicks and/or sequels, Sniper Reloaded was everything I thought it would be. I enjoyed seeing Miller again, but everything else is better left unsaid. Probably the last entry in the Sniper series as we know it and the weakest too.

Sorry for the short review, but I just don't see what to write about. This is simply one of the worst cheap and uninspired movies I've ever seen in my life. Yes, it might be OK for 1940's, but for 2011 even I could do a better job. All actors are awful, and absolutely everything that happens in this movie is completely unrealistic. It even gets to a point when in the beginning of the movie you first see the colonel and hear the footsteps of the two soldiers coming in, but when the camera shows them they just start walking from a wall opposite to the entrance into the room. I fast-forwarded through most of the movie because I just couldn't handle the absence of talent in everything in this movie, starting with the composer and ending with the director. Berenger's face and the ant in the beginning, as one of the reviewers mentioned, were the best parts of the movie, if there were any at all.

Greetings from Lithuania.Now that's a nice one action film. I love the first "Sniper". It was my childhood film. Me with my friends watched "Sniper", "Rambo" hundreds of times. That was a GREAT (slow) action film. Years later, i watched "Sniper 2". I don't even want to remember that one because there is nothing to remember. Couple of days before i saw "Sniper Reloaded" (like "Matrix Reloaded" heh) and - what a surprise, i really liked this movie. Sure there isn't anything special - no SGI or Oscar worthy stuff, just a simple low budget action movie. And it works. Maybe because i was a fan of the first "Sniper" i really liked this one. The lines where they remember "a father" are a great ones (to the fans of the first one). Overall it's a really nice one film, just don't expect much and you will be really surprised.My vote is 7, but because i'm a fan of the first one i'm actually giving this one a solid 8.
