 | This is the orginal sniper movie, their was no since in making (Sniper 2 & 3) they both suck. Tom Berenger is more of the tough guy who is trying to teach Billy Zane who character is (Miller) how to not be scard of killing the enemy. Why would he lie at first trying to take credit of killing a terroist with a sniper gun. What made me fall out laughing in this movie is when Miller starts lossing his mind and keep on shotting the wall then he got on his knees and start crying. This movie is not boring just because the whole time all they did was walking in a jungle their personalities as characters along with shotting bad guys is what made this movie interesting. |

| How do you know this is a great movie? Easy. There is a Sniper 2 and Sniper 3. Fact: Million Dollar Baby won last year's academy award. Fact: There will not be a Million Dollar Baby 2. Movie of the year and it can't even make a 2. Another Oscar winner was Rocky. Followed by Rocky 2,3,4&5. 5 Rocky's! That's when you know it's good. The point is, Sniper is already on 3. Buy Sniper. |

| If you're reading these reviews and not getting why there are so many different opinions about this movie it's because of this:
If there was a list of the best bad movies to watch, Sniper would be #1.
The movie is loved by Sniper-lover-types because its the only one of its kind that tries to delve into what it's like to be a Sniper. Patience, Timing, Accuracy etc are all very well portrayed in this movie. And let's face it, there's not much Sniper-lover stuff out there.
The movie is both loved and hated by regular everyday movie goers because it's story is wacky and the one liners are just as wacky. The overacting is hilarious and the insanity of it is too funny.
I've watched it twice because I thought it was hilarious. It's the type of movie a bunch of pals would get together and watch and make fun of: no drama, no thought, just Sniper! The movie [...]in and kept me watching, which by my definitions makes it entertaining. |

| I usually enjoy a Tom Berenger movie but was disappointed with this one. Tom Berenger (jungle dude and sniper) and the other guy (a government twit sent along to pester Tom and cause all sorts of trouble, kind of like an armed George Stephanopolous) are sent to Panama to 'take out' a bad guy. The problem is Miller (government guy) doesn't seem to know much of anything and refuses to listen to someone who does (Berenger). After a while, this became annoying and I kept waiting for Tom to whack him over the head with something. Unfortunately, he never does. In a scene where they are sneaking through a barnyard, I was waiting for Miller to step on a chicken when he was walking backwards-SQUAWK!! Neat parts of the movie are when Tom Berenger disguises himself as a haystack and watching the Panamanian militia run through the jungle like a bunch of squirrels. I gave this movie 2 stars because you get to watch Tom Berenger. |
