Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Fresh and Exciting
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
The acting in this movie is really good.
More low rent straight-to-video action tosh. This one sees a tired looking Tom Berenger signed up for a mission that sees him off to Vietnam, where he's paired up with a local cop (Byron Mann, fresh off some Steven Seagal flicks) to track down various, nefarious bad guys.It's all very predictable and staid, despite the presence of a handful of mildly frenetic action scenes and lots of sniper action. It feels like a very different beast to its predecessor but the story feels less focused and less well realised. The whole thing about Berenger being sent on a mission by some corrupt officials is incredibly dull.The acting is as half-baked as the plotting, and at the end of the day this is a film that's extremely difficult to get excited about, purely because it's all so familiar and boring.
I was surprised when I knew at first glance that this is the DVD movie. This movie's quality made me stupendous. The cast and plot was great. Tom Berenger still fit in his role as Thomas Beckett, even he was very old at the time. Byron Mann also showed his good performance too. (Unfortunately, Mann didn't have a chance to portray a big film.) I suggested that the financial and the image of project made this movie only direct-to-DVD. However, it didn't make me disappointed.A lot of scenes was great, reasonable and realistic. Nevertheless, the size of project cost the movie's fun. For example, the scene that Beckett escaped from Finnegan's underground base which looked very corny, also Finnegan and Beckett in the jail which made me unsatisfied.For the summary, Sniper 3 is a very good movie in my opinion. Somebody could think that it was mediocre and nothing spectacular. But for me, it's fun to watch. If you don't care about how extreme is in the action movie, Sniper 3 should be one of your choices.
Sniper was a solid and moody thriller boosted by some top notch action sequences. Sniper 2 proved to be a very solid sequel and not that far behind the original. Sniper 3 is every bit as good as, if not slightly better, than part 2 as it expands somewhat on Beckett and gives you more of an insight into this interesting character.Retired Marine sniper Beckett, now teaching this profession, is given a one off assignment; track down an kill and old friend who's been supplying weapons to the enemy.The action scenes are good, production values surprisingly good, the story is mostly well written and the film is fast paced. These are all qualities that make a decent film and Sniper 3 is definitely a very decent action/thriller. Tom Berenger adds more layers to Beckett's character and gives a very good performance.The Sniper trilogy is well worth watching, every movie has something going for it.
Yet another bad movie that showcases Tom Berenger's awesome acting talents. I seriously feel so badly for this guy as he was one of the best film actors of the '90s, I mean this was the same guy who was in "Platoon" for crying out loud. He had some pretty classic bad-ass quotes in this as you can always usually expect at least one of them per film but sometimes you get blessed with a few. As average as this was it actually fared substantially well for a direct-to-video release since it was definitely well done in that regard. The action was okay, the best ones were when Beckett is behind the rifle though, as you probably could've guessed. I liked this but I still couldn't help but let out a silent prayer that TB gets one more big-budget movie deal before he's through with Hollywood because he's way too cool to let him slide into oblivion. Please think about it!Final Quarantine:Movies: Didn't quite make it there did it.?DVD Purchase: Only if you need to complete the trilogy.Rental: Got my money's worth and that's what counts.
